Exercise at the same times each day.
Every day, choose foods from these food groups: starches, vegetables, fruit, meat and meat substitutes, and milk and yogurt. How much of each depends on how many calories you need a day.
Limit the amounts of fats and sweets you eat each day.
Don't fry foods instead bake, boil, poach or sautι in a nonstick pan. Steam or microwave vegetables. Buy tuna packed in water, not oil
