Put away the (food) scale
"Portion control isn't about measuring; it's about ordering
two appetizers instead of an entrée and cutting back on bread if you have
pasta." —Bethenny Frankel, author ofNaturally
Thin.
Stash fruit
"Keep fruit at work. It helps during the I-need-chocolate
part of the afternoon." —Diana Cerqueira, Health beauty
assistant.
Shake chocolate
"When I'm trying to drop a few pounds, I
carry around a shaker cup of chocolate protein powder.
If I'm ravenous, I add the water, and it fills me up so I don't eat something
high-calorie instead." —Bobbi Brown, founder of Bobbi Brown
Cosmetics.
Set limits, then go nuts!
"In the cafeteria I use a 4-by-4-inch Styrofoam box, and I
put whatever I want in there. It's almost impossible to overeat." —Ellen Kunes, Health editor-in-chief.
Floss for dessert
"Brushing my teeth after dinner makes me less likely to eat
again before I go to bed." —Jo Miller, Health photo
director.
Take a 'before' photo
"Before I got in shape, a friend convinced me to take photos
of myself wearing nothing but a sports bra and underwear. Anytime I fall off
the wagon I look at those pics—that's all the motivation I need!"
—Rozalynn S. Frazier, Health assistant fitness editor.

Avoid liquid calories
"Cut out drinks with calories—juice,
lemonade, and, hardest of all, after-work wine." —Lisa Lombardi, Health executive
editor.
Break out the skinny jeans
"Wear something tight! It provides the extra bit of
motivation to lay off the fries." —Ilana Blitzer, Healthbeauty/fashion editor.
Pitcher this
"Fill a pitcher with water and
cucumbers. It's pretty—and it feels like a treat." —Olivia Rassow, Health food
editorial assistant.
Set aside leftovers
"Serve yourself, then immediately pack
the leftovers in a Tupperware container and store in the fridge."
