Change 7: Brush your teeth after each meal.

For the average person, every evening your metabolism slows down, preparing your body for rest. Eating in the late hours of the day is a sure way to store those calories as fat. One trick to prevent yourself from eating in the late hours is to brush your teeth after dinner.

Brushing your teeth cleanses your mouth and cleans your teeth, and while most people typically start their day brushing their teeth, it is best performed after every meal to clear the food stuck to your teeth. Otherwise, the food you just ate sits on your teeth, eating away at the enamel.

Once you brush your teeth, your teeth have a fresh, clean feeling, deterring you from wanting to eat immediately after, especially foods that contain citric acid, which reacts with the fluoride in such a way as to create a horrible taste in your mouth.
