skipping breakfast is the most importantmeal of the day. Still, many of us skipit thinking that it will help us shedpounds. In fact, this bad habit actuallypacks on the Pudge. A recent studyfound that those who ate ready-to-eatbreakfast cereal, hot cereal or evenquick breads (like muffins and bananabread) had significantly lower BMIs(body mass indices) than those whoskipped breakfast.2. Eating at Your Desk Everyone is time-crunched, so it makes sense thesedays to eat when and where we can —in the car, at our desks and in front ofthe TV. Unfortunately, when we tuneinto work or to our favorite show, wegenerally tune out healthy eatinghabits and don't pay attention tointernal cues that tell us we're full.Make time for meals as often as youcan. When you designate only thedining room, kitchen and restaurantsas places to eat, you're less likely tobe distracted and overeat.3. Cleaning Your Plate Calories add up.So, even that light pasta dish or beanburrito can add girth if you're takingin more calories than you're burningoff. Beverages and snack foods arecommon culprits for including multipleservings in what looks to be a single-serving size container. Withoutthinking, you can down 180 to 240calories in beverages that areotherwise healthy. Check the label andstick to the portion size, even if itmeans putting the rest in the fridge ortaking home a doggie bag.4. Forgetting Fitness Many dieters thinkthat just cutting back on calories willlead to lifelong weight loss. Thisworks initially, but only for a whileand often leads to yo-yo dieting.Studies show that most people whosuccessfully lose weight and keep itoff long-term do so by both cuttingcalories and adding regular exercise totheir lives. Couch potatoes take heart:just 2,000 steps a day will go a longway toward keeping off unwantedpounds. Get a pedometer and getgoing!5. Late-night Monster This is by far oneof the most common ways peoplesabotage their weight loss goals.They've been good all day and had areasonable dinner. Then they plantthemselves in front of the TV, wherethe munchie monster calls and theyhead for the chips or ice cream. Otherfolks are plagued by late-night eatingdue to long hours at the office. If thisis your case, make sure to keephealthy snacks on hand so that youcan make a smart choice about whatto eat when you finally get home.6. Fat Phobia If you eschew fat of anykind and live in the land of fat-freefood, you're not getting the bargainyou hoped for. In addition to makingfood taste wonderful, fat also helps usfeel satisfied. Cut it out of your dietand you'll feel the need to stock up onfat-free, but calorie-full foods, likecookies and pretzels. You're better offkeeping your fat intake to about 30%of your total calories and enjoyingsmall portions of your favorite foodsonce in a while.1. The Bar Scene Alcohol, no matterwhat form it comes in — beer, wine orspirits — packs on the caloriesmercilessly. Not only does alcoholcontribute seven calories per gram, italso has the effect of making you eatmore during a meal. You don't needto be a teetotaler; just try to stick toone drink (for women) or two drinks(for men) per day. If you're at a bar ora party, space each drink you havewith a glass of water and avoid super-sugary and calorie-packed tropicaland frozen drinks. Also, don't headout for a night on the town withouteating something first. Otherwise,you'll fill up on nutrient-free alcoholand really hate yourself in the morning.
