Avoid These 12 Diet Mistakes
Best Diet Tip No. 1: Drink plenty of water or other calorie-free beverages.
People sometimes confuse thirst with hunger. So you can end up eating extra calories when an ice-cold glass of water is really what you need.
"If you don't like plain water, try adding citrus or a splash of juice, or brew infused teas like mango or peach, which have lots of flavor but no calories," says Cynthia Sass, RD, a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association.
I love this tip. If I am really hungry and can't wait for that meal to arrive on my plate then the first thing I do is drink a full glass of water. It just seems to start off with my tummy feeling fuller than just a few minutes earlier. I can then eat and enjoy my meal.
