(1) Don't keep the wrong foods in the house! Temptation is a beast and is our adversary's speciality. If we have empty high calorie/sugary foods in the house, it makes his job easier for us to give up and give in to eating these unhealthy foods. Speak the Word of God when cravings hit and the enemy will be defeated.

(2) Replace the wrong foods with Godlier foods. What are Godlier foods? Simply foods that are grown from the earth that are extremely nutritious for us. Fruits and vegetables. Most National dietary guidelines suggest 6+ servings of these complex carbohydrates a day. Have them more accessible and ready to eat.

(3) Listen to your body's 'Signal'. We all get it. A slight nudge in our bellies telling us that we have had enough food. But do we listen? Do we stop? I'll leave you to answer that one. The 'signal' is a natural mechanism of the body customized by God alerting us that it has had enough food. Any further eating is unecessary calories that goes towards fat storage.

(4) Scan Product Labels for Calorie Content. Excess weight comes from excess calories. We don't have to check calories for every morsel of food we put in our mouths, but it serves us very well to know that if we have a choice of two or more foods, and the calorie content is available to read, we should read it so that we can be able to make the wisest choice.

(5) Eat Higher Fiber Foods. Higher fiber foods fills us up longer, preventing us from consuming more calories as a result of getting hungrier sooner than necessary if we ate emtpy calorie foods.

(6) Drink alot more Water. It's easier to think that we are hungry when we are in fact just dehydrated. It may be hard to tell the difference. If you are feeling hungry and haven't had water in the last hour, try drinking a glass and wait 10-20 minutes to decipher whether you are really hungry or not.
