2. Find the best fitness buddy
A workout buddy is very helpful for keeping motivated, but it's essential
to find someone who will encourage, not discourage. So create a list of
all your exercise-loving friends, then see who meets this criteria.

3. Restrain your sweet tooth
To satisfy your sweet tooth without forcing yourself over the calorie edge,
even in the late night hours, think 'fruit first'. So avoid that chocolate cake
and instead enjoy a sliced apple with a tablespoon of nut butter or fresh
fig halves spread with ricotta. Then sleep sweet, realizing you're still on
the right and healthy track.

4. Cops your portions
Does your meal, take up more than half your plate? Think about cutting
your serving of fast food in half. That's because it's best to try and fill half
your plate with veggies or a mixture of veggies and fresh fruit, so that it's
harder to exaggerate it on the more caloric dishes like burgers, pizzas.

5. Fun up your food
It's easy to get in a diet trench, even if you're loading up on delicious fruits
and veggies. The solution? Have a lot of spices, fresh herbs, and lemons at
your cooking beck and call. "It's amazing what a little dash of spice, mix of
herbs, pinch of lemon zest, or squirt of lime juice can do to liven up a
dish—and your diet,"

6. Up your exercise
How do you know when to increase your exercise? The general rule of
thumb is to up the amount of miles run, for races half-marathon length
and longer, by 5 to 10 percent each week.

7. Discover healthy fast food
Have to work late tonight and need dinner? Not to worry. If you find
fast food is your only option, pull up the restaurant's nutrition facts
online before you go; you can make a well informed decision ahead of
time about what to order. "Nearly every quick-service restaurant has a
relatively healthful option or two," We're thinking salads, chili, or
grilled chicken.

8. Up your fiber consumption
Along with protein and fat, fiber is one of those
nutrition elements that keeps you full and supported
all day long. And if you’re trying to get fit and reduce
pounds, fiber is your best friend.
