DO: eat a wide variety of vegetables (all those different colors and types give us different nutrients. for ME, when my nutritional needs are met, I feel less hungry)
DON'T completely give up those bad-for-you foods that you love. plan for them, see them as a treat and occasionally work them into your caloric "budget" when you can afford it... the same way you would spend the money on a vacation every once in a while to save your sanity, but you'd go broke if you spent every day on vacation! (I know for some, these favorites are trigger foods and can lead to a binge or a loss of overall control, so of course this "don't" isn't for everyone.)0 -
Do: Try drinking tea when you think you're hungry.
Don't: Be afraid of fats.0 -
Do look into any food sensitivities you might have and try an elimination diet to see if any of the foods you ordinarily consume are causing you to feel like a slug.
