View all your food as fuel.
If it doesn't provide you with energy or vitamins, eat something else.
Do your dieting at the grocery store.
Stock your house with things that you can binge on with no consequence (carrot sticks). **this is huge for me. If its in the house, I eat it. So I HAVE to choose what I buy with some thought.
Try spicy carrots instead of chips and salsa.
Eat a bag of spinich leaves instead of a bag of chips.
NO FAST FOOD.
View your body as a machine.
TONS more water. Do whatever you have to do increase water intake. I dropped a ton of body fat when I stopped drinking sugar drinks (I *heart* crystal light). I used to be addicted to gatorade and Slurppes.
If your body reacts to it ok, try a metabolism booster / caffiene type daily pill. BUT if you do that, you MUST drink 3X the water you drink now.
Don't eat at night. IF YOU MUST, eat fruits and vegetables.
When in doubt, have a gulp of water and an apple.
