• Stay hydrated. When you're dehydrated your body can't process all the nutrients you feed it. It also helps you to feel full after meals so you'll eat less. It's suggested that everyone drinks a minimum of 8 glasses of water each day.


• Don't skip breakfast. Breakfast starts your body's metabolism for the day. Skipping breakfast will lead to a sluggish feeling during the day and can lead to overeating later.


• Snack on vegetables and fruits. Snacks are important to keep your energy levels up. Choosing sugary snacks or snacks loaded with unhealthy carbs will pack on the pounds and can make you feel hungrier later. Fruits and vegetables will give you a boost of natural energy and help you maintain healthy levels of the vitamins and minerals you need every day.


• Don't eat late at night. An early dinner is much healthier than a later meal. If you feel hungry before bed you can munch on something very light. Eating at least three hours before bed will allow your digestive system to process everything before you call it a night. Your system slows down when you prepare to sleep, and this can lead to sluggish digestion and more calories and fat staying with you if you eat too late.
