1. Want to lose weight?  Eat more spicy food!  Spicy foods fool your taste buds into being more satisfied with smaller amounts.

2. Trying to eat less?  Use a smaller plate.  It helps your mind think there’s more food, and it limits what you can pile onto your plate.

3. The less sweets you eat, the less you crave them.

4. Never go grocery shopping hungry.  You’ll end up buying many things you don’t actually need.

5. Replace the butter in almost every recipe with coconut oil.  It has a rich, lightly sweet taste, and it’s super healthy.  Also, try avocado as a butter substitute in cookies, it tastes no different and is surprisingly healthy.

6. On that note, avocados boost serotonin levels.  Eating them is a good way to be happy and relieve depression.

7. Eating celery is technically exercise.  When you eat celery, you burn more calories digesting it than you consume.

8. When you feel like you need something, but can’t figure out what it is, it’s water.  It’s always water.

9. Cut back on Oreos.  A new study shows they are just as addictive as cocaine.

10. The scent of bananas actually contains a compound that can help you lose weight.

11. Eating watermelon can help reduce acne breakouts and keep skin healthier.

12. Eat an orange before working out.  Not only does it keep you hydrated, but it also prevents your muscles from getting sore.

13. Apples are more powerful than caffeine at helping you stay awake.

14. Drinking fruit juice doesn’t even come close to the benefits of eating fruit.  In fruit juice, there’s often more sugar and less fiber.
