If you eat uncontrollably at night, go to bed earlier and remove activities like extensive internet surfing and television watching at night that encourage snacking behaviour.

Don’t keep the foods you shouldn’t eat in the house- there is an old saying that locks keep honest men and women honest and this holds true for junk foods as well. If you don’t have it around it won’t tempt you.

Don’t go supermarket shopping when you are hungry. It makes you more likely to put more high calorie processed foods in your shopping cart.

Understand that terms like organic or natural are often marketing tools designed to make you eat what you shouldn’t or pay more for certain foods- don’t use it as an eating pass.

Don’t use agave or honey as a sugar substitute. They can make you gain weight just as surely as any other form of sugar. Instead learn to enjoy your foods without added sugar.

Drink water instead of juices. Even the best of juices are unnatural as far as your body is concerned as they lack the fibre and the bulk that the human body has evolved to eat over millions of years.

Eating fruit won’t raise blood sugar levels the way juices will and you are far less likely to overeat fruit than you are to overdo your calorie intake with juices.
