If you are used to drink 7 soft drinks per week you essentially add 7 x 140 calories to your weight. So, by just skipping soft drinks you can easily save around 1000 calories per week.
Start eating slowly
When we are hungry and start eating it takes about 30 minutes for the brain and stomach to synchronize.

Prefer to eat your fruits instead of drinking their juice

For example a raw orange has about 45 calories while a class of orange juice has 90 calories. You can eat your orange and drink a glass of water instead of drinking an orange juice. Besides the calorie savings you will also reduce your appetite and save more calories during your main meals.
Switch to low fat dairy

These alternatives have equally the same taste and have fewer calories than full fat.
