Avoid sugary and fried food, Reduce portions of food eaten slightly, focus more on salaads and fruits. if possible, take only salaads, fruits, in evening and that too in late evening. Avoid drinking any sodas or sweetened drinks.
Do regular pranayam. At time of food craving, instead of munching something, try to do something for diverting the mind. Keep yourself busy with some productive work.
