AOL's Diet department has come up with
this list of the the 100 smartest dieting tips. Usually I'm skeptical of things claiming to be the 'best' or the 'smartest' but I really think they're on to something here. Each of their tips is something simple that you can do, eat or say to help you at any point along your weight-loss journey, whether you're just starting out, you've hit a plateau or you're working the maintenance phase.
The ones that I am taking to heart are:
8. When dining out, make it automatic: Order one dessert to share.
16. Follow the Chinese saying: "Eat until you are eight-tenths full."
26. Have a V8 or tomato juice instead of a Diet Coke at 3PM.
72. Try two weeks without sweets. It's amazing how your cravings vanish.
95. Yoga can burn 250 to 350 calories during an hour-long class.
