Don't forget to drink water after meals

I've shared this little tidbit many times, but one can never share it too often.

Nothing depresses the appetite quite like filling your belly with liquid - water for choice.

You don't want to drink a large glass before a meal - because that will depress your appetite. Yes, you won't eat as much, but you'll get hungrier quicker.

But if you eat a regular - appropriately portioned breakfast, lunch or dinner, and then drink afterwards, this can prevent you from snacking inappropriately between meals.

So work on getting into the habit of drinking water for an additional dessert after every meal.
