Having regular low-calorie snacks throughout the day along with regular smaller meals is a good way to manage your hunger. Plan snacks as part of your overall calories for the day, and avoid eating unplanned calories.Do not sample the food while cooking.

When tempted to snack between meals, substitute a glass of water with lemon and snack on carrot or celery sticks. Avoid sweetened drinks like regulr sodas, special coffee drinks, energy drinks, and juices. They add a lot of calories.

When you feel the urge to snack, try an activity that does not involve eating, such as taking a bath, reading a book, or a hands-on activity.

Make dinner the last thing you eat until breakfast.

Measure one portion of a snack into a bowl so you aren’t tempted to keep reaching into the box or bag.

Drinking 1 beer at dinner every night adds more than 4,500 extra calories each month. This is a little more than an extra 1 lb of body weight a month. If you drink, limiting alcohol will help you lose weight.
