There are some easy things we can incorporate into our daily diet regimens to help make our dieting successful.
Substituting some things we take in on a daily basis for other things can make a difference in our caloric intakes.
For example instead of a Starbucks grand cafe latte 16 oz.
which is 190 calories; one can have a 16 oz tea which is 5 calories, thus one saves 185 calories from that one change alone.
It comes down to making smart choices for weight loss vs.
habits that keeps weight on.
In retrospect it doesn't matter what diet program you decide to follow as long as you reduce your caloric intake and use healthy choices as part of that regimen.
Change Old Eating Habits With Healthy Ones.

• Replacing sugar based drinks with non sugar and water based drinks
• Swapping whole milk for semi-skim or skim milk, there are also alternatives like soy milk, almond milk and rice milk.
  
• Cutting down on lunch by leaving the chips and cookies out.
  
• Avoid second helping at meals
• Replace fattening breakfasts with low sugar- high fiber cereals, fruit smoothies and for those on low carbohydrate diets eggs work fine.
  Breakfast sets the tone for your metabolism for the rest of the day.
  
• Don't skip breakfast, it slows down your metabolism and makes you hungrier by lunchtime.
  This is what makes you eat more during the day.
  
• Cut down or avoid beer and alcohol
• Try and have a routine eating schedule because irregular eating habits disrupt your body's metabolism making weight loss even harder to accomplish
• Eat healthy snack alternatives.
  Pick snacks that are low in calories and fat as well as high in fiber (fiber makes you feel full).
  Eating more fiber keeps you regular which are important in weight loss.
  
• Chew slowly, it is recommended that you chew your food to the count if 32 before you swallow.
  When one chews slower you tend to get fuller faster.
  Plus you enjoy the food more.
  
• Drink plenty of water

Keep Track of your Caloric Intake.
Another helpful thing is to keep track of your caloric intake.
Write down the number of calories in the things you eat as you consume them.
You don't have to have it down to the last number but a close estimate gauges if you are within the correct caloric intake realm for you.
Do these the day before you start your diet regimen and see where your calories can be lowered.
Remember it takes 500 calories a day less to lose a pound of fat per week.
