• I don't know if this has ever
happened to anyone but, keep in mind that if you are going to throw away
your food and its chicken or something, odd questions might
arise if your plate suddenly turns up and there're no bones.
• If you don't like to waste food, take it to
your local homeless shelter.
• When you are in school, grab something on your way out the door,
because you' re in a hurry, then throw it out. Then, in lunch time go
somewhere else instead of with your friends, you don't want to b around
food. Get involved in an activity that goes really late so you come home
after everyone else has eaten and you can take a plate of food to your
room to eat while you are doing your homework (put the food in a bag and
throw it out with tomorrows breakfast. The only thing is weekends- try
to stay as busy as possible.
• Celery actually burns calories. Every hour eat a stalk of it.
Not only will it fill you up, but it'll also get your metabolism
kicking.
• Chewing and spitting out all the foods you crave and can't have is
great, but this technique can also be used for chewing gum. If you like
to chew massive amounts of gum, especially regular sugar-full gum, just
chew it and spit out your sugary saliva. At 10 calories a stick, gum can
add up quickly. Also remember that sugar-free gum is not calorie free so
try spitting with it too. Another good reason to spit as you chew
sugar-free gum is because the sorbitol in it can cause gas and bloating.
• When you feel you need to eat, list the reasons why it's not such a
good idea, by then you'll most likely lose the craving, and you'll have
convincing reasons not to eat.
• Try Green Orange or Bitter Orange (found at health food stores).
They contain synephrine which increases your metabolism more effectively
and it's not as dangerous to use as ephdra.
• Coffee on an empty stomach it will make you feel sick and
will curb your appetite while burning calories because of the caffeine.
• Always wear a rubber band on your wrist, when you're tempted -
twang, you won't be for long.
• Sniff scented markers or anything else that may smell like a fruit
and then you won't be hungry anymore.
• Make a trigger/thinspiration book filled with dieting tips, quotes,
safe foods, and anything else that will trigger you into not eating.
When you feel the urge to binge, refer to your trigger book-it will
remind you that you don't want to stay fat.
• If you get hunger strikes, go on a walk or sleep, keeping your mind
off food will make it go away.
• If you're in college, plan your schedule so that it spreads
throughout the day that way you won't have long gaps of time where you
can pig out.
• Whenever you get hungry, think of all the people who made fun of you
when you were fat.
• Whenever you feel hungry or feel tempted to snack, exercise. Go to a
gym or do sit ups or jumping jacks or go run around the block a few
times. When you're done exercising, you won't feel hungry anymore.
• Put your fork down in between bites at meal time.
• If you feel empty try this, you can buy bagels, that are 98% fat
free, split it in half, chew on it for a while, they fill you up as they
appear stodgy, once you've eaten a mouthful spit the rest out, they're
dry so encourage you to drink water, which fills you up.
• Always keep a trash can near you when you eat so if you feel like
you are going to over eat, you can just make it a reflex action to throw
the food away. You can't think about it though, because you'll just decide
to eat. Even if you've only eaten 2 bites; if you feel that you might be
full, just reflexively throw the food away. If your at a restaurant,
just choose a seat next to the trash. I don't recommend this tip if
you're eating with other people, though.
• If you're annoyed at your family for always trying to make you eat
breakfast with them, tell them (while holding your stomach with your
arms and looking like you're about to puke) that you always feel sick
after you eat in the morning so early. Or that you have to go swimming
in a few hours, and that you don't like eating before that.
• If you have to cook for your family, make sure it's something that takes a long time
to cook (like cookies or a pasta or something) so that way when it's done and you're ready to eat it, you will
be full just by the smell and waiting and you won't be
able to finish it all (this worked for me before I even realized it
did). It also helps to drink a lot of water while you're waiting, as
that fills you up, too.
• When you are really hungry (physically) then take some
anti-heartburn pills. Stomach acid is always being made to help digest
food and when you don't eat it builds up and you feel hunger. Pills
help naturalize the acid and you won't get hunger pangs.
• If you throw food in the trash can in your bedroom, make sure you
get rid of the bag before going to bed otherwise it will reek in the
morning.
• Drink plenty of water, at least 8 glasses a day. This ensures that
the kidneys are functioning properly. If you are not fully hydrated this
means that the kidneys are not working to their full capacity and
results are that the waste products are then dumped onto your liver
which, is where the fat process actually occurs. Water actually speeds
up your metabolism.
• Exercise and sweat, when you sweat you burn calories, don't over due
it however because then you will have a heat stroke. Also if you take a
hot bath and you lose water from sweating, but when you drink all the
water it comes back again. A good way to do this is if you are going out
and you really want to fit into that tube top for summer, then just
don't drink anything and take a HOT HOT shower and sweat a lot you will
be thirsty but you will have lost a lot of weight for the time being.
• Eat a tiny piece of onion (like 1/2 in square). That way you have
onion breath and people believe you really ate.
• If you have a craving for sugar, try fat-free, sugar free Jell-O.
It's only 10 cals per serving, if you want you can eat the whole bowl
and its only 40 cals.
• After you eat brush your teeth. You won't want to eat when you have
that minty taste on your teeth.
• Get tape or those roll up bandages and wind them tightly around your
stomach, it stops you from eating because you can't get the food down
properly and you also look thinner.
• If you eat at night before you go to bed make sure you lay on your
left side it makes the food go through your system faster and wont have
as much time to suck fat out of the food. but you shouldn't eat before
you go to bed slows down your metabolism.
• just keep yourself extremely busy, almost to the point of being
completely stressed out and you can go for 8hrs without being hungry or
wanting to eat
• Use two of the packet ginseng you find in convenience stores if you
don't have diet pills (mini-thins work well also). Be sure you don't
take more than two every six hours or so because if you haven't eaten in
a while, 3 can give you the shakes
• If you don't feel comfortable not eating too much, eat only a hard
boiled egg, an apple, and a glass of water. It will fill you up all day
• If you live with your parents, go to bed early & sleep late to
avoid some meals, then go out in the day, & say you've eaten a lot.
Also, keeping busy will burn more calories
• go out whenever you feel hungry go to club and dance the night
away you have forgotten about your hunger and have burn a hell of a lot
of calories by dancing all night
• Remember, out of sight is out of mind. If there are goodies lying
around on the counters or table; put them away and/or hide them. That
way whenever you walk through the kitchen you won't be tempted
• Make banana and fruit smoothies in the blender. They fill you up but
aren't high calorie
• Make vegetable soup with low cal veggies cut up in chunks. You can
have a full bowl and feel full but actually you never ate very many
calories
• get comfy in bed, being comfy means you don't want to move, which
means no getting up to get food
• To get a slimmer belly, do as many crunches as you can stand. And
then go to bed so you're well rested and not hungry
• take zinc and potassium supplements, these work well with kelp in
raising metabolism and mobilizing fat
• drink several cups of green tea each day, which helps raise
metabolism, also, add a few slices of lemon and a tiny bit of honey -
this aids liver and kidney function, and thus avoids extra weight
gain... it also fills u up quite well
• If you have a terrible craving, turn on the T.V.! Most likely, SOME
sort of show will be on with skinny, gorgeous actresses/models. It's a
definite way to curb an appetite
• If sitting at school, college etc. constantly tap your feet/fingers.
Fidgeting throughout day is proven to burn up to 800 calories per day
• If you're talking about celebrities, make sure to mention how you
think Calista Flockhart is too thin and that you think Kate Winslet is
gorgeous. Praise fat and people will never guess that you're starving
yourself into thinness.
• If you're in outpatient treatment and have to have your blood tested
- a comprehensive metabolic panel - there are a few ways you can fool
the test. One, drink water - LOTS. You need to flush the ketones that
have built up in your system out of your body or else they'll know
you're starving/burning fat. Two, eat some nutritional stuff - yogurt,
fruit, cereal - the day beforehand as well as a few hours beforehand,
Technically, you're supposed to fast for 12 hours before the test for it
to be accurate in measuring your vitamin levels. NOT fasting will up the
vitamin levels. Three, makes sure you always take vitamins. Finally,
you'll want to make sure you get your electrolytes in. Smartwater has 0
calories and electrolytes - perfect for this tip and the first one! So
drink up
• Wear nail polish to cover up the bluish tinge that starvation gives
your fingernails so others don't suspect it as much.
• If you need to eat out, some ways you can avoid food are: Turn
vegan, makes it hard to find suitable food, claim you have
severe food allergies (always a good answer when they offer chocolate),
or order something that you've never tried before. When you taste it,
say you don't like it.
• Remember... Beating hunger is mostly a matter of distraction. Try
not to be alone if you really want to ignore your hunger. Drink a huge
glass of water so your stomach doesn't rumble and then go window
shopping or to Barnes and Noble and read a magazine... or go to a
friend's house and laugh with them or something so that you get
distracted. My favorite tactic of distraction is music... Heh, you get
up and perform a concert of your favorite hitting fast jam with lip
singing and air guitar, and do anything else you can to distract
• use your mind - think about what the food would look like in your
body after you have eaten it... hopefully that will put you off
• When you're cooking, make sure you chew gum at the same time so you
won't be tempted to take lil' bites of the stuff you're cooking
• Wearing braces could take away your appetite. Depending on what kind
of a person you are either lazy or not. In some cases other people don't
bother cleaning their braces because they are sick and tired of doing
it. It is also bad to leave chunks of meat and cheetos in-between braces
and teeth. Their mentality says " Why bother eating again I don't
want to clean my braces three times a day" . This tip is good for
people who are "neat freaks" or hygienic. It is also a good
advantage cause braces will give good teeth result. Braces may hurt the
teeth but its another reason not to bother putting food in your mouth
• If you're with your family or something, and you're at a buffet,
spend most of the time acting like you're picky, and walk around the
buffet tables. Then just get a little something and spit it in your cup
or something. Sneak in some exercise too while you're walking
• drink a glass of water every
hour it will make you feel full
• pick one food for the day like an apple. cut it into 8 slices. eat 2
slices at breakfast, 2 at lunch, 2 at dinner, and you'll have 2 left for
a snack! this way your body thinks it's eating 4 times that day, but in
reality you've only had 1 apple. the next day pick another food. make
sure it's only 1 serving that you split up into 3 or more throughout the
day
• eat one meal a day, this will help binge cravings
• if you live on your own or have a lot of privacy, tape/tack up
pictures of your favorite models and always carry one around with you,
when you're hungry pull out the picture. if you live on your own tape
them up on the fridge, freezer, and cupboards (just remember to take
them down or cover them when people come over)
• always wear perfectly applied sticky lip gloss it keeps you very
aware of what goes in your mouth, and makes you think twice about eating
anything, because you will have to carefully re-apply
• 'pro plus' are caffeine tablets which you can just buy from most
shops, no need for calorie infested coffee, they are also easy to take
if and when you do eat anything
• if you're a smoker and you're hungry, light up a cigarette it curbs
your appetite and you no longer feel hungry

breakfast, two for lunch, two for supper and two a few hours before you
sleep, make sure to drink water with it so you can feel a little more
full

dinner, or going out to a restaurant, and then just go somewhere where
you can't eat
• if you are really craving food, brush your teeth with a strong mint
toothpaste, this helps to put me off food because of the taste it leaves
behind
• when you are hungry do something gross like dig for worms clean a
kitty litter box or something it will make you just not hungry
• in between each mouthful of food
that you eat, take a sip of water, it fills you up and slows down your
eating so that you stay in control
• dexatrim - take 3 a day 1/2 hour before you eat and drink water and
you'll be full after just a few bites
• when drinking water.. drink ICE COLD water... your body has to burn
calories to keep your body temperature up
• GUM!!!! get the sugar free kind and chew baby chew
• try to eat in the same place every day. Somewhere solitary. not in
front of the TV or computer. If you have to stop what your doing to go
eat you might not even bother
• eat what you crave. NO REALLY! but eat it before you crave it in
moderation instead of a whole chocolate care get one of the small ones
and only eat 1/2 of it. allow yourself to enjoy it. deprivation leads to
bingeing
• Sleep at least 6 hours a night. Less than 6 hours sleep a night
stimulates appetite by 15%
• Lower the temperature in your house 10 degrees to burn more
calories, or take a icy cold shower/bath. Like drinking the ice water,
it is cause your body burns calories warming you back up

well. You will become fuller with less food so wont want to finish
what's on your plate

Hot liquids expand the intestinal tract and make you feel full. A warm
drink can help take the edge off your hunger, preventing overindulging
later. In fact, soup can do the same

excitement of eating will begin to slowly subside, and you'll probably
be content with a smaller portion

than foods

cannot just raid the fridge at
• when you go out take only a few bucks with you so when you walk past
the pastry shops you can't afford anything
• Before you dig into that carton of ice cream, bag of chips, etc.,
take a deep breath and count to 100. Usually, by the time you stop
counting you will have convinced yourself that you don't really need it
• Write a note to yourself listing all the reasons you are finally
ready to lose weight. Keep this letter with you at all times, for
inspiration
• Drink ice water. The body burns up to 40 negative calories just by
