  1. Counting calories (using MyNetDiary to record and set goals)<\/li>\n
  2. Drinking water. Lots of water. (Mostly to avoid drinking things with calories in them.)<\/li>\n

    Everything else is business as usual. Same meals as everyone else (just eschewing seconds). An occasional treat (some ice cream or an extra cocktail) if I’ve been extra good during the day. Accepting that I’ll go above the daily target on occasion, just making sure those occasions are exceptions, not the rule.<\/p>\n

    That’s what’s working for me. Your mileage will almost certainly vary, though, regardless, I don’t recommend taking up smoking to lose weight.<\/p>\n
