3. Limit Salad Toppings

Limit Salad Toppings Salad isn't all that healthy when it's loaded with toppings. Try to eat it without dressing for a change.

4. Skip the Whipped Cream

7. Drink Sugar Free Drinks

Don't keep junk food in the house. If it's not within reach, you can't have it.

Eat several small meals throughout the day, instead of the usual 3, make lunch the biggest meal of the day, keeping dinner light; and read labels! Refined sugar is indeed a killer, because it is added to so many products, and has no health benefits whatsoever; eat mindfully🍽🍎

Nice tips. But inviting fewer people over doesn't exist in African families. I can invite 2 families and both families with have 4 kids. Plus my family of three. Ain't gonna happen.

These sound like anorexia tips.... Whever....

Great article! Only thing is sugar substitutes can cause weight gain faster than sugar believe it or not, but with stevia it gives you the results you need. Tips for those who can't live without whipped cream, go to Pinterest. There's a whipped cream recipe that only requires coconut milk, vanilla extract, and a natural sweetener (agave, maple slurp etc).
