A body has to eat, but what we eat is a product of years of habits, good or bad.

Pick a habit, any habit.

1. Drink milk with all sugar junk. Milk helps the body feel full faster, and has been proven to help the body use up the sugar and fat in junk. Thats why you see all those hourglass comercials these days. And that is why 'milk and cookies' goes so well together!

2. Limit all snacks to once a day, oreos after breakfast? No more till tommorow. Also try to limit portion size of said snack.

3. Eat more vegetables, whatever your current consumption in go up one notch. Veggies a rare sight? Add one with dinner every day. Already have them once a day? Add them to another meal.

4. Tone down the sweet tooth, not by dropping sweets, I could never do that! But by reducing just slightly the amount of sugar in your recipies, add vinegar to tomato sauce to cut the sweetness, or use less sugar on your cinnamon toast. Any time you personally control the sugar cut it just a tad.

5. Cook at home, for real, home cooking often has less fat than eating out. Not to mention finding a vegetable at some restaurants is about as easy as finding a toddler in love with them! Of course don't go from all meals out to all in overnight, just bump it up one notch at a time.

6. Restrict eating to the kitchen, seated at a table you are more likely to eat slowly and savor the food, rather than gulp it down while absentmindedly channel surfing (or in my case, web surfing)
