1. Stick With The Right Portions
 

If you'd like to lose a specific amount of weight, find out how many calories you should consume every day. Once you know, prepare meals that fit within that caloric intake. Think about using small plates to consume small, colorful portions.

2. Make Each Meal An Experience
 

There's a reason why fast food restaurants are such a hit. Stop eating on the go. Sit down at the table and eat without distractions. Focus on chewing your food and enjoy the present moment.
 

3. Eat Soy In Moderation
 

Soy provides phytoestrogens and protein. Many veggie meat products are made out of soy. Tofu, edamame and soy milk are options to consider in moderation.
 

4. Eat Lots Of Veggies
 

Make sure to fill your plate up with lots of vegetables. Consider a mix of raw and cooked vegetables. To cook vegetables, consider stir-fried, steamed or grilled methods. Corn, eggplant, a variety of peppers and zucchini are great options. Don't forget the green, leafy vegetables as well.
 

5. Schedule Your Meals
 

Many people haphazardly eat when they feel like they have the time to squeeze in a meal. Others only eat when they feel really hungry. Japanese people are known to be very respectful of time. If you eat at specific times each day, you'll get rid of the hunger pangs and avoid unnecessary binge sessions to feed a craving.
 

6. Enjoy Green Tea After Every Meal
 

One of the many great benefits of green tea is its anti-aging and energizing properties. Make sure to drink it unsweetened.
 

7. Delight In Fruity Desserts
 

Fruit is healthy and has tons of vitamins and nutrients. However, if you consume a lot, the natural sugars can add up. Instead, enjoy a sweet bowl of cherries or cubed watermelon as a dessert.
 

8. Enjoy Rice
 

Rice is very filling and can be low in calories. Try not to season it heavily with salt. Use herbs, a bit of lemon juice and pair it with some delicious vegetables.
