Know the effects of the food you are consuming. Being well-educated on food gives you the edge. Calories are not the only quantifiable measure for weight gain. Nutrients count too and are vital to our well-being.
Eat regularly and take your time. Most people think of food in terms of calories, but food is what fuels your body. Skipping meals leads to fat storage and eating too fast leads to overeating.
Avoid boundless snacking. Keep an already-portioned snack at hand, such as a real fruit, Dannon® Light & Fit® 0% Plus™, string cheese or a handful of nuts.
Consult your doctor before starting any weight management or exercise regimen.
