Healthy Tips to Lose Weight:

·         Eat vegetables to help you feel full.
·         Drink plenty of water.
·         Get tempting foods out of your home.
·         Stay busy -- you don't want to eat just because you're bored.
·         Eat only from a plate, while seated at a table. No grazing in front of the 'fridge.
·         Don't skip meals.
 
Keeping a food journal -- writing down everything you eat -- can also help you stay on track.
