7. Keeping a Food Diary
You will never know how much food you consume unless you start keeping a food diary. This should become your new habit. Write every bit of food you eat throughout the day first. Remember to take a short note reminding why you needed to eat that food. Rate your hunger from one to ten. Do not forget to include beverages since most of them contain calories.

8. Throw away Unhealthy Snacks
Without getting rid of junk food one cannot expect to be healthy. As a rule, junk food contains simple carbs, tons of sugar and salt. Some of them are full of fats as well. We consume junk when we do not have a better option or too lazy to cook. Prepare your own meals in advance. It might require time, skills and patience, but it is worth your time and effort. Learn the most basic recipes that you can master and use every day. Keep home-made dishes in special containers. Put them in your freezer and next time you feel hungry you will be able to heat them and eat. Hiding junk food won’t help since you will always be tempted. The only right option is to throw your chips and cookies away.
