FREEBIES

EAT LESS FOOD MORE OFTEN

If you tend to skip meals, then you’re more likely to gain more weight than people who eat exactly the same amount of calories distributed evenly among more frequent meals.

SLOW DOWN

It’s amazing how something quite simple can make a huge difference in portion control. Try putting your fork down at least three times dur­ing the meal and taking relaxing breaths.

TURN OFF THE TV

Read a book instead. Body metabolism is at its lowest when watching TV.
