DOWNSIZE. instead of buying-and ultimately eating-an entire pint of ice cream, buy a box of low-calorie frozen treats. They're instantly portion controlled, and you'll feel like you're spoiling yourself.
This is a really great treat. I have a 110 calorie brownies that I reward myself with every Sunday. If I am feeling like I need a treat during the week then I just have one of them. It is a great reward for myself for doing so good at my exercising and dieting and I don't feel bad about the treat. There are lots of diet frozen treats in your grocery store freezer section. Many of them less than 100 calories each. Check them out.

TIP OF THE DAY - SUNDAY
MIX UP SOME MILK... If you are craving creamy chocolate treats and nothing else will do, mix up a cup of lowfat milk with some chocolate syrup, then slowly sip. For a bonus you will get a boost of calcium.
This is a good tip, probably because I am fasting and I don't drink milk any more. Well my chocolates are mixed up with water and is a soy base. Milk is good for you in so many ways so just enjoy it cold or hot.

TIP OF THE DAY - SATURDAY
ENVISION THE CONSEQUENCES...Will this indulgence do to your plan? How far will this set you back? Will you be able to bounce back quickly, or will ti take you weeks of hard work?
These are all questions you should ask yourself BEFORE you eat something you shouldn't. This is a great time for this tip. The weekend lies ahead and for many that is a hard time to stick to your diet. But you can. You will be glad you did as well so just go other the above questions in your mind and be honest with yourself. Is it really worth it?

TIP OF THE DAY - FRIDAY
MAKE TIME FOR TEA... Herbal and flavored teas pack plenty of flavor with a few to no calories. Choose a sweet fruity variety to curb the afternoon munchies. Tea is pack with antioxidants, too.
I never thought about this but this is a good tip and it would count as water too. A nice hot cup of tea would really feel and taste good in the afternoons too since it does not look like we are going to have any spring weather any time soon.

TIP OF THE DAY - THURSDAY
WING IT...Skip deep-fried wings and cook up boneless chicken breast chunks doused in hot sauce. Make your own blue cheese dressing with low-fat yogurt instead of mayo and add lots of celery for dipping.
I love boneless chicken breast in almost all ways, but I am not a fan of hot sauce. You might try a sugar free orange marmalade, B-B-Q sauce, or even some lemon curd. Remember that these three sauces can be high in calories so use it sparingly.

TIP OF THE DAY - WEDNESDAY
DRINK WATER... Thirst is often mistaken for hunger. When you feel an overwhelming urge to snack, drink a glass of water and wait 20 minutes. Your hunger pains will most likely recede.
This is a good tip and no matter what diet plan or program you choose will be part of the success. I know I drink my 10 glasses of water unless I am traveling, but I never thought about using water to stop hunger pains. It makes sense and I am going to try it now since I am feeling like I am a little hungry. I still have one more glass of water to drink so this will be the perfect time to drink it. Try this tip yourself and see if it works for you.
