22. Be sure to burn off those extra calories by the end of the week. If you feel that you have consumed more calories than you should have during the week, it happens you know, make sure that you work off those extra calories by the end of the week. 23. Stay away from fried things. Fried things are an absolute no-no. The more fried things that you avoid, the less weight you will gain. Fried things are called that because they are fried in oil or fat. And even if the external oil is drained away, there is still a lot of hidden oil in it, so stay away from it. 24. Do not skip meals. The worst thing you can do while watching your diet is to skip a meal. It has just the opposite effect of what you want. You need to have at least four regular meals every day. 25. Fresh vegetables are better than cooked or canned vegetables. Try to eat your vegetables raw. When you cook them, you are in fact taking away nearly half the vitamins in them. And canned vegetables are processed and are not nearly half as good as fresh vegetables. When you buy your vegetables it would be a good thing to see if the label says that it is pesticide free. 26. Nothing more than an egg a day. Eggs are not such a bright idea. It would be best to reduce your intake of eggs to maybe three in a week. But for those of you die hard egg fans, you may have up to one egg a day but nothing more than that. 27. 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. 28. Choose a variety of foods from all food groups every day. Change the items included in your diet every day. This is an excellent way of keeping deficiency diseases at bay and it helps you to experiment with a variety of dishes and thereby you do not get bored with your diet. 29. If you can say no to alcoholic beverages please do. Alcoholic beverages are not good for you. Beer can be fattening and the rest of the alcoholic drinks may not be fattening by themselves but after a couple of swigs you will be in no position to watch your diet and your appetite will be something to battle with. 30. Try to have breakfast within one hour of waking. It’s always best to have breakfast within an hour of waking so that your body can charge itself with the energy it needs for the day. The idea is not to wait for yourself to get really hungry. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day but that does not mean that it should be the most filling meal of the day.
