10 Rules For Dieters

Before you commit yourself to a weight-loss effort, consider these new ways of thinking and dining:




* Think of yourself as a thin person.
* Plan your meals and snacks. Know ahead of time exactly what you will eat and how much.
* Avoid all restaurants for the first week.
* Do not read or watch TV while you eat. Concentrate on your food.
* Never eat standing up.
* Put your cutlery down after each mouthful. Don't refill it until you've swallowed.
* Chew slowly. Taste what you are eating.
* Fill your plate only with the amount of food you want. Do not eat from platters on the table.
* Do not take second helpings.
* Always leave some food on your plate.
