    Instead of french fries/deep fried potatoes, I eat sweet potato quarters baked in the oven. Taste as great, if not even better. You only need 1 to 2 tsp of olive oil for half a medium-large potato, and some sea salt!

    You'll laugh at this one, but as a complete potato crisp addict, (which is why I got so fat), instead of eating crisps with a sandwich etc. I now eat a handful of bran flakes. Works for me!

    Instead of eating a whole pizza, I eat a serving of pizza. I still eat the same food in smaller amounts.

    Soda...tea, diet versions or 10-calorie-per-can ones
