1. Tap Your Feet
You can "burn up to 350 calories a day just by tapping your feet or being restless." So the next time you're sitting in a chair, make sure you move your legs a bit.
2. Don’t Eat in Front of the TV
If you're focused on the TV, you won't be paying attention to how much food you eat. So sit at the table whenever you're hungry.
Frequently asked questions
3. 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
The next time you buy ice cream, don't ask for whipped cream. It's loaded with calories you don't need.
5. Invite Fewer People over
The more people you invite over, the more food you'll make. That means you'll end up with more leftovers you'll want to snack on.
6. Get Enough Sleep
For some reason, people who get less sleep end up munching on snacks more often throughout the day. So make sure you always get your eight hours.
7. Drink Sugar Free Drinks
Cut soda out of your diet completely. Once you do that, only opt for sugar free drinks.

Thelma62913: Don't keep junk food in the house. If it's not within reach, you can't have it.
Veronica: 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.
Jennapher: 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🍽🍎
GlitterSparkle: These sound like anorexia tips.... Whever....
Lily: 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).
