Have small portions at regular intervals so that there is sustained release of energy and glucose and it will keep hunger pangs at bay.
Healthy drinks
Limit or eliminate soft drinks and artificial juices to keep calories in check. Consume whole fruit instead so that the feeling of fullness is there. Plus you get the wholesome nutrition of a fresh fruit which gets lost in juicing as most of the time packaged ones remove the fibre. Rather increase your daily water intake to 3 liters to flush out toxins and keep your body hydrated.

Healthy snacks
If you get a craving for snacks, then instead of having desi pakoras or samosas go for unsalted almonds & walnuts, Roasted makhani. Roasted chana or seasonal fruits or fresh juice water.
Exercise
