5. Take a Nap
An afternoon nap is another simple trick that may help you avoid gaining weight. When we are tired and exhausted, we tend to eat more, although what we need is not food but just some rest.

6. Eat with the Opposite Sex
Find a friend of the opposite sex and have a meal together. If you are around a person of the same gender, you eat more carelessly. Finally, the worst idea is to eat when you are alone – in this case you do not control yourself at all.
