Maintain a food journal

 

This would be your food diary where you record every morsel that you consume through the day. This journal will be your best friend and you shouldn’t lie to it by concealing high fat foods you could have consumed. Your diet journal will help you keep a track of your dietary habits and make small and effective changes to your diet plan.

 

Cook at home

Excluding the freshness and reliability of the quality of food you consume at home, the portion of servings also makes a huge difference. The portion served in a restaurant is almost 2 to 3 times of what you consume at home.

 

Learn what a portion is

 

Many people don’t know what a normal sized serving is. It is usually the amount you can hold in the palm of your hand. Keeping this in mind will cut your calorie intake to an astonishing level.

 

Forget about bread

Bread is one of the most convenient options for breakfast; it saves you from cooking time consuming meals. But if you necessarily need to consume bread then opt for multi grain or wheat bread that is high in fibre. Cereal is a far better option for breakfast. Add nuts and strawberry to your bowl of cereal and enjoy your dieting.
