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. All those colas and fizzy drinks are filled with plenty of sugar and sugar means calories. The more you avoid these sugary drinks, the better for it is for you. So if you must drink sodas, then stick to diet sodas.

Eat only when you are hungry. Many of us have the tendency to eat whenever we see tempting looking food. We use parties as an excuse to stuff ourselves. Understand that the effect of a whole week of dieting can be wasted by just one day's party food. Whenever you are offered something to eat do not decline it completely bit just break of a nibble so that you appear 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 many muscles while walking. Walking helps relationships flourish, makes one forget worries, and eases the mind. It stimulates the brain, aids digestion, and helps the blood flow evenly throughout the body. Walking at a moderate pace yields longer workouts with less soreness - leading to more miles and more fat worked off on a regular basis. High intensity walks on alternate days helps condition your body. Walking is a great form of exercise. Other exercise options includes attending local gyms, community pools, and exercise classes.
