1. Eating is eating.

Concentrate on your meal and avoid reading or watching TV.

2. Eating in the same room at home, whether it's a full meal or a snack.

③ Make dining a special occasion by setting out beautiful tablecloths and tableware.

④ Drink a bowl of nutritious, low-calorie soup before meals to avoid eating too much during the meal.

5. Avoid eating when you feel extremely weak. Take a few deep breaths to relax and drink a cup of hot tea to calm yourself down.

⑥ Don't leave food on the table-because no one can resist the temptation.

⑦ Eat in fixed quantities.

⑧ Eat more carbohydrates, such as grains and vegetables.

9. Savor each bite of food slowly and chew thoroughly.

10. Remember: It takes about 20 minutes for the brain to register fullness, so please slow down your eating to allow your body's internal regulatory system to adjust.

① Clear the table immediately after eating to avoid putting food in your mouth even when you are full.

12. If possible, ask someone to wash the dishes after the meal so you don't have to stand in the kitchen and eat the leftovers absentmindedly.

13. Leave the house immediately after your meal, and you will feel refreshed when you return.

14. Set meal times.

15. Don't be too picky about the foods you don't eat. There are plenty of foods you can eat anytime: juicy grapes, delicious pies, and whole-wheat bread-as long as you don't overeat.

16 Healthy foods can completely replace high-calorie foods.

17. Regularly varying the contents of your three meals will make eating a much more enjoyable experience.

18. Hide high-calorie foods. If you can't see cookies, you won't be so tempted.

19. Limit healthy snacks to a certain range, such as delicious fresh fruit.

20. Food should be bought and eaten immediately; do not buy a lot at once.

21. If you don't want to eat something, don't eat it. Even if you cook it perfectly, you don't have to eat all the food.

22. Don't buy delicious food and start eating it in your car, otherwise you'll have already consumed 1000 calories by the time you get out of the car.

23. Treat cheese and meat as condiments, rather than making these high-fat, high-calorie foods the main dish on the table.

24. Don't skip meals, as this will make you crave fatty and sugary foods later.

25. Limit your caffeine intake.

26. At the end of the week, make a healthy breakfast recipe and check the following week to see if you have followed through with the recipe.

27. Brush your teeth immediately after meals. You'll be happy to stay in a state where your breath feels fresh.

28. No matter what you do, don't forget to eat breakfast.

A hearty breakfast will help you control your appetite and keep your metabolism running smoothly throughout the day.

29. Waking up 10 to 15 minutes earlier will give you more time to eat breakfast according to the recipe.

30. Be careful with high-calorie drinks, including alcoholic beverages.

(2) Don’t eat too much chocolate.

(3) Eat something before exercising.

(4) When eating the same food, you should eat it in many different ways.

(5) Do not discard protein that maintains physical fitness.

(6) Take notes and record your experiences in suppressing your appetite each time. This is a powerful motivation for you to persevere.

(7) When you have a craving, do some activities that are not related to eating, such as taking a shower or going for a walk.

(8) One person may get tired of eating low-fat foods alone, so the whole family should get used to eating them together.

(9) Prepare some healthy food so that you don’t go to the kitchen to eat high-fat food when you are hungry in the middle of the night.

(11) Write down 7 kinds of low-fat breakfasts on a card and choose one each morning.

(12) List several of the most effective dieting methods and check whether they are met each month.

(13) Keeping a food diary can help identify eating and drinking habits that disrupt your diet plan.

(14) Slow down when you eat. If you eat too fast, you will have eaten too much by the time you feel full.

(15) Do not eat too much at one meal and gradually reduce your food intake so that your stomach can shrink.

(16) Adjust the color scheme of the dining room. Warm colors such as red, yellow and orange will stimulate appetite, while cool colors such as blue and gray will have the opposite effect.

(17) Do not weigh yourself every few days, because the weight of water retained in the body varies every day, and the weight of muscle is greater than that of fat, so weighing yourself every day will make you lose confidence.

(18) Exercise every day, such as weightlifting, running and riding an exercise bike.

(19) Boating is a great aerobic activity that burns calories.

(25) Cultivate beneficial hobbies and plan social activities that involve playing but not eating.

(26) Sleeping in sportswear.

(28) After strenuous exercise, rest fully. For a group of muscles, the best rest is about 48 hours.
