Everybody I know is on a diet of some sort. One friend of mine (who shall remain nameless) eats only chocolates, and crackers all day. Another friend of mine swears off carbohydrates after 3 pm everyday (except Saturday). Another has given up jujubees!

My point is....on some level...we're always on a diet, restricting ourselves from foods that are bad for us.

Over the years I've come up with a few simple rules that I TRY and follow when I need to buckle down and lose a few pounds.

No eating after supper!
Extra protein with my meals and snacks!
Eat every 2 to 3 hours!
Drink tons of water!

If you followed these 4 simple rules you'll notice a big difference pretty quickly.

A little commitment goes a LONG way! Baby steps...baby steps...
