Avoid fad diets.  If you do not believe me, ask your doctor about these: negative calorie diets, extremely low calorie diets, low carb diets, and any other type of fad diet that is unbalanced.  Changing diet should be a matter of healthier life style.  Learn all you can about different foods and nutrition.  The more you know the easier it is to implement healthy nutrition in your diet. 

Here are my top ten diet tips:-

*Water mixed with fructose suppresses appetite better than glucose with water or diet drinks.  Drink a glass of orange juice 30minutes to one hour before a meal.
*Too many people skip breakfast.  Eat in the morning when the body burns more calories.
*Do not eat while watching television.  You can become so engrossed in your program that do not realize how much you are eating.  Sit at the dining table when eating as it will help digest your meal better.
*Exercising before you eat just makes you hungrier.  Exercise after eating when the body has to work harder to digest food.
