DON'T "SAVE" YOUR CALORIES FOR A BIG MEAL

Melina Jampolis, M.D., an internist specializing in nutrition for weight loss and disease prevention, states, "It's tempting to 'save' your calories if you know you're having dinner at your favorite Italian restaurant." She continued by saying, "But if you do, you'll be famished and eat too much too quickly." She recommends a high-volume and low-calorie snack such as a piece of fruit or a vegetable around 3 or 4 o'clock before going out for a big dinner. She says that snack can actually help you cut calories.
