21. Leave space for heavy meals. If you’re going out for dinner and know that you’ll be eating more calories than bargained for, plan ahead.
22. The good and the bad. We all have snacks stashed throughout the house; in our kitchens, living rooms, bags, hallways – you name it!
23. Be salad-savvy. When you go to a restaurant, sometimes the smartest decision you can make is to order a salad.
24. Prepare your meals beforehand. First of all, it goes without saying that the best decision you can make for yourself and your family is to cook yourself.
25. Still hungry after a meal? It happens to the best of us, you just finished your meal, but you want that extra something.
26. Pack snacks for late nights. If you have a late work night, or you usually finish work late, make sure you bring food and snacks from home to satiate your hunger.
27. Skip the free refills. Saying no to anything that’s free is unheard of, except when it comes to soda and sugary drinks.
28. Stay active on your lunch break. During your lunch break, go for a walk instead of sitting down again.
29. Eat more. This may be the most counterintuitive thing you’ll hear anyone say when it comes to weight loss.
30. Exercise is not an excuse to eat whatever you want. Oftentimes, people think they can eat anything because they exercise so much.
