Think about the people that you go to lunches and dinners with. Did you know that research has provided that either gender eats more food when around a woman than they do a man?

For weight reduction, go with leaner forms of meat. Instead of relying on store bought flavorings, you can experiment with your own fresh salsas, chutneys, and simple vinaigrettes. This will prevent the meat from becoming too dry, and tasting bland. Chutneys are sweet and fruity and add excellent flavor to your protein.
At the mid-point of each meal you eat, give yourself a small break. Sometimes our brains don’t know we are full before our stomachs do. Make it a habit to pause halfway through each meal. Take a minute and try to think about your hunger level before you eat again. Sometimes you may not really be hungry, but just feel that way.
It’s important to maintain a healthy weight since you worked so hard to lose weight in the first place. One of the major deciding factors in the length of your life is your lifestyle. You must make the decision to change your way of life and reach out to the resources that are around you. Quit thinking about it and know that you can do this.
