1: Measure your waist. For women, your waist should be less than 32 inches, for men, less than 37 inches.
2: Have a good look at your eating habits. The best way to do this is to keep a food diary
3: Eat a piece of fruit before lunch or dinner. This will help you eat a little less and counts as 1 of your 5 a day.
4: Learn to say no. Don't accept every invitation to dinner and drinks. Suggest activities like a weekend hike or dance lessons.
5: Beware! Supermarkets often offer discounts on treat foods if you buy them in bulk. Keep away from these discounts: If you buy more, you will eat more!
6: Careful how you cook! Switch to steaming, boiling and baking to cook food rather than frying or roasting to reduce your fat intake!
7: If you take a bus to work, get off one stop early and walk the rest of the way
8: Have a clear SMART goal; make it Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely. You'll find more info on setting weight loss goals
9: Use a smaller plate. Most people use a very large dinner plate, which normally results in far too much food being eaten. Unless you are doing two or three hours exercise every day, you don’t need a big plate.
10: Never fill your stomach when you eat; always leave some room. You will stop feeling hungry long before you feel full. ‘Filling’ your stomach means you are eating too much.
