• If you do indulge on evil foods served on dessert trays, just take one or two samples for each and really enjoy the taste without the guilt rather than trying to gobble them all up.

• Eating lots of fresh fruits 20 minutes before a meal help reduce cravings for the main course due to the fruits' glucose contents registering on the brain, suppressing hunger.

• Eat lots of vegetable especially during lunch and dinner. Try to avoid the combination of animal proteins (meat) and starches (potatoes and bread) when selecting your main course.

• Limit consumption of animal protein as much as possible. About 4 to5 servings a week should be the maximum, so you should be consuming vegetarian dishes on a couple of days in a week.

• If you plan to substitute animal proteins with alternatives like legumes, start slowly with steady progression. You can use dry beans, peas, soya beans and lentils in your staple food and you'll be surprised on how delicious they are.

• Drinking water or liquids a good 10 minutes before every meal helps in efficient digestion and absorption of nutrients from the food you eat. This helps particularly well with natural body cleansing functions.

• Be sure to have a snack between meals to avoid too much hunger during the main meals of the day. This will only encourage binging, eat a snack of fruit or vegetables and drink plenty of water to avoid feelings of starvation and cravings.

• There's no limit on the amount of vegetables you can consume each day. By far, this is the only food group you can freely enjoy, so indulge. Nobody has gained weight by eating too many vegetables. The best way to eat them is to enjoy them raw to absorb all the nutrients they have to offer. If you want them cooked, lightly steam them to preserve the essential nutrients.
