1. Keep track the amount of calories you consume. It is helpful to have an idea of how many calories a food has (check the labels), and how many calories you are consuming throughout the day.
2. Remind yourself to burn off any extra calories you may have consumed over the course of the week. If you remember that you have consumed more calories than you should have, make sure you burn off those calories before the end of the week. If you delay burning off those calories, you could develop a bad habit of accumulating extra consumed calories and delay your weight loss.
3. Reduce your intake of fried foods. Fried foods are almost always fried in oil or fat, so the less fried foods you consume, the less oil and fat you consume, and thus the less weight you will gain. Also, bear in mind that even if the external oil is drained away, there is still a lot of hidden oil absorbed into the food, so keep away from all kinds of fried foods.
4. Starving yourself or skipping meals will not help you lose weight. Do not skip any meal for any reason; in fact, you should have four regular meals per day.
5. Eat fresh vegetables over cooked or canned vegetables. When vegetables are cooked, nearly half the vitamins in them are taken away. Canned vegetables are also processed, which takes away nutrients as well. Vegetables contain the most nutrients when they are eaten raw, so try to do so as much as possible. Also, when you buy your vegetables it is wise to check if the label says that it is pesticide-free. You don’t want any chemicals in your vegetables either.
6. Eat no more than one egg per day. Eggs (particularly the yolks) contain quite a bit of cholesterol and fat, so if you really love eggs, eat them 3 times a week at most, while consuming no more than two eggs per day.
7. Make chocolates a luxury and not a routine. Chocolates are not or at least they should not be a part of your diet. So do not indulge too much in them. Even the bitter chocolates are not good for you because though the sugar is less there is still the cream in them.
8. Eat foods from all 5 food groups every day. This is a great way to have a variety of foods in your diet to prevent you from getting bored of eating the same things, and ward off any nutritional deficiencies.
9. Reduce your consumption of alcoholic beverages, as they do contain quite a bit of calories. Beer can be fattening, and while other drinks may not be as fattening, after a few drinks, you will not be in a condition to successfully control your appetite and diet.
10. Eat your breakfast within one hour of when you wake up. Don’t wait until you are hungry, as breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Your body will need lots of energy throughout the day, but this doesn’t mean breakfast needs to be the most filling meal of the day.
