(10-15)

10. When out at a restaurant, ask the server

 to hold the bread, snack mix or chips and salsa that might come before the meal. If you're hungry, you'll be tempted.

11. Tired of eating your salad on a plate? Fill a whole wheat pita with salad and a splash of lemon for a twist.

12. You might do better to replace an occasional dinner with a nice roll in the hay. Healthy sex may help control the amount of food you eat and it's great exercise.

13. Create emergency packs filled with healthy foods such as nuts, fruits or sliced vegetables to help you avoid unhealthy temptations.

14. Add red pepper flakes to your pantry. When eaten early in the day, red pepper lowers the amount of food you'll eat later.

15. Odds are you're eating too fast. Try holding a conversation while having a meal so you're not gulping down more than you need to feel full.
