DIETING doesnt mean giving up all the foods you love.

GETTY

Losing weight is an uphill battle. There will always be temptation, but after a while it will get easier.

You will grab a piece of fruit instead of a bar of chocolate and you will actually want to exercise because it makes you feel better inside and out.

But starting is always the hardest part, which is why swapping out some foods for healthier alternatives is a great way to begin.

Here are six food tips that will help you lose weight:

1. Eat more regularly

Skipping meals is one of the worst things you can do if you are trying to lose weight.

Rather, the best thing to do is eat small meals every three to five hours. This will help increase your metabolism and keep your hunger at bay.

2. Drink water before every meal

While we all aim to drink six to eight glasses of water a day, many of us struggle to reach this target.

Not drinking enough water leaves us dehydrated, tired and feeling hungry because often we confuse thirst with hunger and end up over eating.

So make sure you drink at least a glass of water before each meal or snack to stay hydrated and full.

3. Order the smaller-sized coffee

By swapping your large or regular-sized coffee for a short one you will not only save money but over 100 extra calories.

4. Drink clear liquor

When the Daily Star online spoke to Vicky Pattison about how she dropped four dress sizes, she said one of the things she did was swap her sugary-filled drinks for vodka sodas.

This is the right idea as a vodka soda is only around 100 calories per drink while a margarita isaround 500 calories per drink.

5. Swap your favourite junk food for a healthy alternative

If you like mayo, try non-fat Greek yoghurt. Crackers? Cut up cucumber, carrots or zucchinis and dip into hummus.

Swap your chips for nuts for an extra hit of protein and substitute rice for cauliflower rice.

6. Frozen grapes are your new best friend

Frozen grapes are a cheap and easy dessert and will satisfy your sweet tooth.
