Bible promotes being “
moderate in habits.” (1 Timothy 3:2) That includes your eating habits. So why not try the following?
Listen to your stomach. “
I used to count calories,” says 19-
but now I just stop eating when I’m full.”
Avoid foods that are unwholesome. “
By cutting out soda,” says Peter, aged 21, “
I lost five kilograms (10 lb) in just one month!”
Adjust bad eating habits. “
I try not to go back for seconds,” says 19-year-old Erin.
Secret to Success: Don’t skip meals! If you do, you’ll feel

I was determined that even if I ‘fell off the wagon’ or got discouraged, I
would not give up.
“Guess what? It worked! Over the course of
one year, I lost 27 kilograms (60 lb). I’ve maintained my desired weight for
two years. I never thought it would happen!
“I think the reason I was successful is
that I didn’t merely diet
