Eat more fiber High-fiber foods generally take longer to chew. This gives your body time to register when you're no longer hungry, so you're less likely to overeat. And high-fiber foods tend to make you feel full longer, so you won't be as ravenous later. Finally, high-fiber foods tend to have fewer calories for the same volume of food. Choose whole grains and whole-grain products, fruits and vegetables, beans, peas and other legumes.   Need practical advice on diet and exercise?

Today Today's the day many Hindus usher in the new year and welcome the spring season! But the festivities are more complicated than you might think. Hindus in various states of India actually honor the new year in their own unique ways (and not all of the holidays even fall on today's date). Let's take a closer look at how they celebrate and then learn why even the Hindu belief system lacks the unity of most world religions. For daily information and inspiration, follow About.com Religion & Spirituality on Facebook and Twitter. Happy Gudi Padwa, Ugadi, and More!

From cleaning and decorating their homes to wearing new clothes and baking tasty sweets, learn all of the ways Hindus start anew. And Happy Vasanta Navaratri!
