Stay on Track With Dee’s Savvy Strategies!

Get a date! When your sweet tooth hits, that is. “Dates are sweet and soft, like caramel, but at less than 50 calories each, they’re a healthier way to satisfy my craving,” Dee says.

Weigh your food. Use a scale to measure portion sizes. “It’s an accurate way to figure out exactly how much I’m about to eat.”

Spice things up! Sprinkle on ginger, chili pepper or cinnamon to add flavor to food. “They head off diet boredom so I don’t feel the need to add high-cal alternatives like butter.”
