Ever had a failed diet before? You think that dieting is not for you because you can't really get yourself to put more effort into it? You may be doing it WRONG! 

Top Dietitians of the American Dietetic Association list down 100 smartiest diet tips to renew your commitment to dieting. Here are the partial list..

I Can Only Handle One Diet Change Right Now. What Should I Do?
  1. Add just one fruit or veggie serving daily. Get comfortable with that, then add an extra serving until you reach 8 to 10 a day.
  2. Eat at least two servings of a fruit or veggie at every meal.
  3. Resolve never to supersize your food portions--unless you want to supersize your clothes.
  4. Make eating purposeful, not mindless. Whenever you put food in your mouth, peel it, unwrap it, plate it, and sit. Engage all of the senses in the pleasure of nourishing your body.
  5. Start eating a big breakfast. It helps you eat fewer total calories throughout the day.
  6. Make sure your plate is half veggies and/or fruit at both lunch and dinner.
