WORKS: Writing down your daily intake in an online journal. It helps me avoid eating horrible foods just because I don't want to write it down and then I rationalize with myself :P

DOESN'T WORK: Avoiding portion control. Don't eat until you're full, eat until you're satisfied and bulk up on veggies. Listen to your body!

Works - Keeping track of what I eat and the calories and fat in it.
