My advice, eat very small portions (size is really important at all times…For example, when you are Strabucks order a short latte instead of a Tall or Grande…it’s 100-150 calories less, always order a Medium or Small….American Medium or Small is usually Canadian/European large or extra large.) Drink lots of water, avoid what I call empty calorie foods,such as, gum, white bread and Candy’s, at least have a good quality dark chocolate. I am big on food quality. And, avoid eating just for the sake of eating or just because food is available. Eat because and when you are HUNGRY.
