- Drink lots of water throughout the day! So many say this but for me it worked and I saw a change in my weight and skin.

- Eat often! Smaller portions!

- Chew Chew Chew your food !! Eat slow!

When you say eat often how often is that? Say like I'm ready to eat 2 hrs after breakfast?

[Louise_Chlo in reply to PheonixJo]

Whatever time you believe is reasonable and it will always depend on your day. For example the time you eat lunch space between lunch and dinner.

Breakfast - 7-9am

Snack - 11am

Lunch - 1300

Snack - 3-4pm always a smoothie for me

Dinner - 6-7pm

Snack only if I needed it

I never ate after 8pm unless it was an occasion eg birthday meal.

I like your tips, i find drinking water hard, note to self must drinking more water.

[Louise_Chlo in reply to Honey10]

Yes it is difficult and I must stress that many people don’t have the opportunity as if you are working 9-5 depending on your job role you can only drink during breaks.

Water is allowed which is great, but I simply can't drink at work because can't have a toilet break whilst working. Unfortunately have a weak bladder, that's another story. But i could drink more water, when not at work.

I know where you are coming from. When I started to drink more water I was using the bathroom every hour easily however now my body has got used to it.

When I knew I would struggle to drink much water in the day, I ensured in the morning from when I woke until leaving the house I was drinking water.

I work 9 till 5 and struggle getting in a routine with eating but I have breakfast about 7.20am but feel hunger at 9am ish? Is that about right?

[Louise_Chlo in reply to PheonixJo]

It is hard and it always depends on our lifestyle. I have to work out at home I would not be able to make it to a gym to keep my fitness level up.

Yes whenever is right for you. It does not matter when you feel hungry it is more about what you consume and how you count your intake. The other day I had breakfast then fruits then nuts all before lunch.

I need to drink more water and have more snacks. Thanks for the reminder.

[Louise_Chlo in reply to Hidden]

I found that drinking from a bottle helped me I would always leave the house with water in my bag as well.

As I don't work any more I do have an advantage I know and try and have water before my breakfast, mid-morning, before lunch. mid-afternoon and before supper.

That’s great. I also put slices of lemon in with my water in the morning but it’s not a must LC x
