1.     Drink enough water - at least 8 glasses a day - to avoid water retention. You will see a difference in your scale as well as your skin! A little lemon juice in your water will cause more frequent urination and stop water retention. Eat food low in sodium/salt content.

2.     Small portions of meals 5-6 times a day - You could have 2 meal replacements by eating a meal replacement bar or protein shake. Make sure the portion of your meal covers the size of your two hands together. Use a smaller plate to regulate. If you skip a meal and feel like your starving by your next meal, chances are your body will be STORING FAT as you eat your next big meal. So never, ever let yourself starve. Make sure you have a good breakfast and avoid all snacks.
