Wow, there are some great ideas here.

One tip that helped me (several diets ago) is rather than put dressing or syrup (low cal of course) on your salad/breakfast is to have a little bowl and dip a forkful in at a time. It coats the item rather than drench the item and you get all the flavor much fewer calories. (Well, that sounds a lot more complicated than it really is.... )

Writing down everything I eat BEFORE I eat helps me a lot too.

Thanks for the tips, all! Keep 'em coming.

Note: I was on the Atkins diet in the 70s and lost a lot of weight, but it was hard on my health and I gained it all back plus when I was off the diet. Just as Sandra stated... I have higher hopes for the Weight Watchers regime.
