Replace 1 meal
While fad diet gurus will keep on convincing you to skip meals, we don't suggest you go that harsh on your body. Instead, simply replace one meal of your day with a vegetable or salad-based option that will keep you full without adding up too many calories. Go for healthy vegetable soups or a salad loaded with leafy greens, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc.
Go easy on your dinner
