The secret to diet­ing is, well, to stop diet­ing — as in, starv­ing your­self — and instead, doing a few things to keep your eat­ing habits on track. Here are some secrets that will bring you some waistline-shrinking success.



Eat reg­u­larly.

Skip­ping meals messes with your mood and slows your metab­o­lism (which actu­ally can increase the amount of fat your body stores for later use). What’s worse, the crash in your blood sugar will fuel a crav­ings for fatty foods. To avoid all of these diet pit­falls, focus on eat­ing less but more often. This will help reg­u­late your body’s fat-burning system.



Put less food on your plate.

Our por­tion sizes have exploded in the past few years, mean­ing we’re inad­ver­tently con­sum­ing more calo­ries — and our waist­lines are grow­ing as a result. To com­bat this, use smaller plates and aim to eat more fruits and veg­eta­bles than carbs or pieces of meat.



Ditch yo-yo dieting.

Sci­en­tists now believe rapid weight loss causes yo-yo diet­ing — mean­ing you’ll even­tu­ally put back on the weight you’ve lost. More­over, this way of eat­ing is excep­tion­ally bad for your heart, meta­bolic rate and car­dio­vas­cu­lar sys­tem. Eat well-rounded meals and your body will be health­ier — and leaner — in the long run.



Chew your food.

With our hec­tic work sched­ules, find­ing time to sit down and eat a meal can be dif­fi­cult, but this can keep your weight in check. That’s because it takes about 30 min­utes for your brain to real­ize your belly is full. If you gob­ble down the goods on your plate, you could end up overeat­ing with­out actu­ally mean­ing to. The best idea is to put your fork down between mouthfuls.
