#8 They Eat Breakfast
According to the National Weight Control Registry, which tracks the habits and strategies of more than 5,000 people who have maintained a significant weight loss, nearly 80 percent of these successful losers eat breakfast every single day.

Or at least not in the traditional, all-or-nothing, deprivation sense of the word. Get rid of the diet mentality and determine that you will make a permanent lifestyle change. It's a simple formula. Decrease calories, increase activity. Make sensible choices to get the most nutrition from those calories you take in. Eat more fruit and vegetables. You get more food volume for your calories when you do. Research shows that thin people tend to have a better quality diet than those who are overweight. Eat more fiber, and increase your protein 30%. You can get protein drinks and nutrition bars that add more protein. Adding healthy protein has been shown to help decrease your appetite because protein takes longer to digest, keeping you feeling fuller longer.

#6 They Keep Track of Their Weight
Thin people know how much they weigh, and they monitor that number by stepping on the scale frequently. It's not about having an unhealthy fixation on that number on the scale, but it's a way to catch a 5-pound gain before it sunddenly turns into a 20-pound gain. Try to keep your weight within a five-pound range, and if you see it go above that buffer zone, make sure you have an immediate plan of action for how to address it.
Remember, it isn't all about the number, if your clothes fit well, then the numbers are not as important. But when the button on the pants starts being uncomfortably snug, it's time for action.
If you are following the tips on this blog and eating a little healthier with smaller portions, you should be keeping in the range you want to be.
