FOOD HABBIT :

• First calculate your weight,then decide how much you want to lose because setting a goal is very important in losing weight.
• After the goal is set,now manage your time.Decide when what should be done,planning things make it easier for you to reach the goal.When you plan dedicate some time for your exercise.

1. 

• Drink more water half an hour before you start your meal,this make you feel full.
• Shrink your plates,serve food in a smaller plates,smaller bowls and spoons.This way you make your mind feel full first.Eat slowly so that your mind can register what you had and signals your body that it is full.
• Eat 5 to 6 smaller portion of meal instead of 3 large meals.This way your metabolism is on  always.
• Don't serve food in bowls or platters instead serve it in the plates.So once the plate is empty you are finished no going for second round.         
• Avoid white foods , they contain large amount of carbohydrates which leads to weight gain.
• Eat more spicy food  because the spicy ones turn up your digestive fire,causing your body to temporarily burn more calories.

• Eat fresh fruits instead of juice beacause whole fruit has fibre content and keeps you satisfied for a longer time.
• Eat more calories before noon, the more you eat in the morning the less you feel hungry in the evening . In the morning your calories burn off faster than in the evening  .
• Never eat in front of the TELEVISION  because you never know how much you had.Trying eating at the same time everyday and eat only when you feel hungry.
