The fallowing are the 33 different diet tips that will help you in losing weight with successful dieting.

SECTION A

1. Check with your doctor before starting any diet.

4. Change your eating behavior.

5. Formulate a good exercise routine to be followed at the same time as you are dieting.

9. Make a list of low calorie foods and carry this list when you are shopping.

10. Keep plenty of low calorie foods on hand.

SECTION C

11. Pinpoint the specific emotional state, which usually brings on an eating binge. Feelings of discouragement, anxiety and boredom are some of many causes of compulsive eating patterns. Break your habit pattern by finding something else to do instead of eating whenever you feel that familiar emotion overcoming you. Any activity, whether writing a letter or calling friend, will do the trick.

12. Practice over coming your urge to eat: open the refrigerator saying out loud,” I just can’t stop myself from eating this food”, and then close the door and walk away. Thus you will prove to yourself that you can break your snacking habit, and the more you practice this little exercise, the more automatic will become the action of losing the fridge door.

13. Be more sensitive to your stomach. If your stomach tells you that your appetite has been satisfied, then stop eating at once.

14. When confronted with your favorite food, compare it with a mental image of yourself as slim as you want to be. You will have no trouble deciding which is most important to you.

15. Change the emphasis of meal from the food to social occasion. Make a point of eating with another person, eating slowly and stopping when you feel comfortably satisfied. Then start practicing this alone until you are completely in control of yourself.

16. Rate your food on a 5 point scale, according to how important it is to you, making 5 the most important. Then allow yourself only the food highest up on your scale. This will save you many calories.

17. Break your habit of eating as soon as you get home by changing your usual routine. Park differently, use a different door, and immediately involve yourself in another activity rather than entering the kitchen.
