• Unless you've decided to go vegan, remember that portion size of a piece of meat is about the same size as a deck of cards. There is no reason to consume 16 ounces of your favorite BBQ marinated steak. It is about 4 servings of meat!

• Be careful with foods and drinks, such as chips, cheese crackers, mixed drinks, beer, soft drinks, meals, fast food and other restaurant foods. Check the calories, sugar and salt per serving and adjust accordingly if you are not able to avoid them.
• Cravings are not a bad thing! This is the way your body tells you that something is missing. If you fancy a meal, eat a small amount and wait to see if the desire disappears. Most of the time it will. You really can have your cake and eat it without paying a high price for it.
