tip of the day

DAILY TIPS FOR SUCCESS 1. Make an effort not to multitask during meals. If you're working, reading or watching TV while you eat, you won't truly appreciate your food.

2. Every time you sit down for a meal, sit down. Chew slowly and pay attention to flavors and textures. You'll enjoy your food more and eat less.

3. Put half the usual amount of food on your plate. Try half a bagel, half a sandwich, or half a cup of rice instead of the entire cup. See if you feel satisfied eating less.

4. Brush your teeth after each meal and snack. The minty freshness will be a signal to your mouth—and your mind—that you've finished eating.

5. Walk an extra 1,000 steps during the day. Adding even a little more exercise can boost your weight loss. Walk over to a co-worker's cubicle or office, rather than e-mailing   What is a  tip you use to lose weight??
