Part-2 - Drink at least two to three litres of water daily. Drink plenty of water because runners often get dry mouths as they run plus you want to stay hydrated. Drinking other liquids also provides your body with a source of water, but note that diuretics cause your body to expel water. Diuretics include caffeinated drinks (coffee, tea and soda) and alcohol

Stay away from sugary drinks, especially sodas. Colas and fizzy drinks are full of sugar and sugar means calories. The more you can cut back on these sugary drinks, the better it will be for you. So if you must drink sodas, then stick to diet sodas.

Make a habit to eat only when you are hungry. Some of us have the inclination to eat whenever we see food. Parties are use as an excuse to stuff our selves. We should understand that the effect of a whole week of dieting can be wasted by just one day's party food. When someone offers you something to eat do not refuse it completely just break of a nibble or just a little bit so that you tend to mind your manners and at the same time can watch your diet.

Smoking is bad for weight loss. Smoking as such may not contribute to weight loss but smoking leads to other conditions like erratic eating habits and excessive dependence on things like coffee.

Go for evening walks around the neighbourhood with a friend, wash your car or maybe even do some gardening instead of watching T.V and just sitting there eating junk food all day, do something exciting that helps you keep fit, healthy and looking good at the same time. Look for opportunities to use your body that focuses on developing good life long food and exercise habits. There is no set time frame for results. Anyone starting a diet should take each step of the program at their own pace. In addition, always choose a nutritionally balanced plan with enough calories to keep you from feeling flat and tired.

Walking is always a good form of exercise to start with. We use so many muscles while walking. Walking helps relationships, makes one forget worries, and eases the mind. It aids digestion, stimulates the brain, and helps the blood flow evenly throughout the body. Walking at a brisk pace produces longer workouts with less soreness - leading to more miles and more fat burnt off on a regular basis. High intensity walks on alternate days helps condition one's body. Walking is a great form of exercise. Other exercise options include going to local gyms, community pools, and other exercise classes.
