HELPFUL TIPS from Kevin B.:

• Eat with moderation in mind – portion control
• Eat slow
• Drink a glass of water before every meal
• Drink cold water
• Eat hot sauce
• Don’t eat more than the size of your fist
• If portion is larger than your fist, cut it in half
• Stay away from man-made high-fructose corn syrup
• Stay away from white bread
• Before eating, ask yourself, “Do I need this? -or- Do I want this?”
• If you eat too little, don’t feel like you have to make it up
• Snacks are not meant for you to feel full
• Butter or olive oil instead of vegetable oil
• If you feel stuffed after a meal, you ate too much

• Dessert is a part of dinner
• Dessert is not in multiples – only one cookie, doughnut, etc.
