Diet - The Top 21 Tips for Dieting Success from the Harley Street Diet Plan.1. Start your Diet with a food diary. Record everything you eat, what you were doing, where you were and how you felt.2. Instead of eating sweets, brush your teeth. When you feel hungry, wait 10 minutes and see if the hunger passes.3. Set attainable goals. Don't set out to lose 50lbs. Endeavour instead to lose 5lbs a month. Get enough sleep. Try to avoid sugar.4. Drink plenty of water. Water helps cut down on water retention. Taken before meals, it dulls the appetite by making you feel full.5. Diet with a friend. Support groups are important, and caring people can help one another succeed.

| 6. Substitute activity for eating. When the cravings hit, exercise, do the housework, or walk around the block. This is especially helpful if you eat out of anger.7. If the cake on the counter is just too great a temptation and you don't want to throw it away, freeze it.8. If you're a late-night eater, have a carbohydrate such as a slice of bread before bedtime to cut down on cravings. Keep an orange slice or a glass of water by your bed to dull the hunger pangs that wake you up.9. If you use food as a reward, establish a new reward system. Buy yourself a non-edible reward! |
10. Write down everything you eat including what you taste when you cook. If you monitor what you eat, you can't go off your Diet.11. Weigh yourself once a week at the same time. Your weight fluctuates constantly and you can weigh more at night than you did in the morning, which is demotivating if you have stuck religiously to your Diet all day.12. Make dining an event. Eat from your own special plate, and borrow the Japanese art of food arranging to make your meal, no matter how meager, look more appetising. This is a trick that helps chronic over-eaters and bingers pay attention to their food instead of consuming it unconsciously.13. Never shop when you're hungry - you'll only buy more fattening food.14. Avoid finger foods that are easy to eat in large amounts.15. Avoid consuming large quantities of fattening liquids, which naturally includes alcohol!16. Keep plenty of crunchy foods like raw vegetables on hand. They're high in fibre, satisfying and filling.17. Leave something on your plate. It's a good sign that you can stop eating when you want to, not just when your plate is empty.
