Listed points: 1- Do it with others. -Group chat w/ a challenge can help immensely. 2- Schedule things out so there’s no unknowns. 3- Plan for social occasions: Anticipate social events or dining out situations and plan ahead by looking at the menu beforehand and choosing healthier options. You can also eat a small, healthy snack before going out to help curb your appetite and prevent overeating. 4- Practice mindful eating Pay close attention to your body's hunger and fullness cues, and eat slowly and without distractions. This can help prevent overeating and promote greater satisfaction with your meals. 5- Focus on nutrient density Instead of solely counting calories, prioritize foods that are rich in nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and fiber. These foods tend to be more filling and satisfying, making it easier to stick to your diet while still meeting your nutritional needs. 6- Stop making excuses 7- Practice flexible dieting Thanks for listening!
