Answers & Discussion
Keeping tempting snacks out of the house helped. I have much less willpower at night, so I stopped buying the foods I usually overeat.
I increased protein and stayed fuller longer. A proper breakfast made my afternoon cravings much easier to control.
Fruit became my replacement for desserts most days. It did not feel exactly the same, but it helped me avoid going completely off track.
