  Keep a food journal. Write down everything you eat and drink. Add the calories at each meal to your total so you don't go over your daily goal. It's less tempting to overeat if you can see your daily caloric intake.

  Replace unnecessary sugars and fats with healthier options. Instead of soda or juice, drink water. Instead of ice cream, try a frozen sorbet. Replace whole milk with skim in your morning coffee.

  Eat lean proteins. It is especially important to eat protein at breakfast, because it will help you feel full through the morning. Good protein choices are eggs, lean turkey bacon, Greek yogurt, lean ground turkey, salmon and low-fat cheese.

  Eat fruits and vegetables. You cannot eat enough vegetables. Not only will they help you lose weight, they will also fill your stomach and stop any hunger pangs.
