1. Eat Assorted Foods
2. Base your diet on foods high in carbohydrates

3. Eat moderate servings: reduce, do not dispose of food
If you eat the right ratios of each food, it is easier to eat from all food groups without eliminating any. For example, some reasonable portions are 100g of meat, half a piece of fruit, half cup of raw pasta or 50ml of ice cream. Prepared meals can provide a practical means of controlling rations and often the calories they contain in the container appear, which helps in counting. If you eat out, you could share some of your food with a friend.
4. Eat regularly
Skipping meals, especially breakfast, can lead to a feeling of uncontrolled hunger, often causing an over-eating. Having a mid-morning snack or a snack can help contain hunger, but do not overeat so you do not substitute main meals. Do not forget to count these shots as part of your total calorie intake.
5. Drink lots of fluids
Adults need to drink at least 1.5 liters of fluids a day! And we need more if it is hot or if we do a lot of sport. Water is obviously a good source of liquids but the variety can be both enjoyable and healthy. Other options are juices, soft drinks, tea, coffee, milk, etc.
6. Move
As we have seen, eating too many calories and not getting enough exercise can lead to weight gain. Moderate physical activity helps burn off the calories we have left over. Tthe move is good for the human heart and circulatory system, and for general health and well-being. So make physical activity a daily routine. Use the stairs instead of the elevator (both up and down)! Take a walk on your lunch break. It does not take an athlete to move!
7. Start now! And make changes gradually
Making changes to your lifestyle gradually is much easier than making them suddenly. For three days, write down the foods and drinks you consume between meals and at meals. Do you take too few servings of fruit and vegetables? To begin, try to eat only one more serving of fruit and vegetables a day. Are your favorite foods high in fat and make you gain weight? Do not eliminate these foods and feel bad, instead try to choose low-fat foods or eat less of them. And start using the ladder at work!
