Considering I've dieted about a thousand times in my life, I've gained so many tips and tricks that I could write a book on the subject! So I thought I'd share a few of my favourites and what works for me. Here are 10, I will probably continue to do these as a series maybe but here you are for now..
1) Drink more water than a thirsty man in a desert. Drink at least a glass of ice cold water before every meal to stop yourself over eating.
2) Take sea kelp tablets to increase your metabolism, you can find these in Holland and Barratt.
3) If you are trying to stop snacking, buy flavoured gum.
4) Can't give up chocolate? Grate one cube of dark chocolate on top of sorbet to make you feel like you've got heaps of chocolate!
5) Add spinach to everything! Spinach is full of vitamins and minerals, I put it in almost every dish I eat when dieting.
6) Buy a children's divided plate to limit portion size.
7) Keep a food diary to help keep track of where you go wrong and where you can improve.
8) The main element of your food should be vegetables not meat or carbs.
9) If you can, cut out red meat. When I'm dieting, I nearly eat all vegetarian foods.
10) Never beat yourself up about giving into cravings, allow yourself treats otherwise that's just not fair.
