Author Mireille Guiliano of the now popular book "Why French Woman Don't Get Fat" offers the following tips on how to manage your weight:

• Keep a food journal
  • Document what you eat, how you eat, quantities of what you eat, whether or not you always clear your plate etc. Once you realize your habits, you will be able to change them if necessary.
• Savor what you eat
  • Really enjoy what you eat, and don't eat until you are full. Eat with all of your senses, which will help you eat less because you're actually paying attention to your meal. And, don't let your food become a burden to you - don't feel guilty, but rather find balance. For example, if you indulge slightly the night before, balance your diet to be less indulgent the following day.
• Slow and steady
  • Losing weight the correct way is a lifestyle change -- there is no quick fix. Your body needs to get used to change and this takes times.
• Variety
  • Choose quality over quantity and shop what is in season. By enjoying a variety of foods in your diet, you will find that this compensates for those items that you really miss.
• Drink water
  • Drinking water helps control your appetite. It also helps flush out toxins and keep your body hydrated.
• Ritual eating
  • Focus your attention on what you are eating. This means turning off the television, eating at the table, and eating slowly. Try and make special times during the day for eating.
• Portion control
  • Use a scale and weigh your portions. Your body doesn't need massive portions to satisfy cravings. If you crave something sweet, have one bite -- you will be amazed at how quickly your cravy can be satisfied.
• Walk
  • Walk instead of getting in the car. Why pay for that gym membership, when you can walk where you need to go? Walking a few blocks will help with circulation and reenergize you.
• Ritual preparations
  • Enjoy making your own meals! Try shopping more regularly such as every other day, instead of once a week or monthly. You'll find yourself eating more fresh foods, and thoroughly enjoying the cooking experience.
