EAT A PROPER BREAKFAST
People who are overweight are much more likely to be skipping breakfast than those who are slim. This is because after not eating during the night the body needs fuel, so the temptation to snack until lunchtime is difficult to resist.
EAT LESS
It might seem obvious, but the trend in restaurants and fast – food joints to give bigger and bigger portions is causing us to overeat without realizing it.
CHEW LONGER
It is chewing action that the brain associates with eating, so spending longer chewing each bite goes a long way to convincing the brain that you are full.

Don’t go past the point of being comfortable just to finish something or because you couldn’t resist the sweet trolley.
EAT MORE FIBRE
It will boost your metabolism to burn fat faster.
