21) Make it a habit to count the calories as you eat.

It’s a good idea to have an idea of the calories that most food items have.

If it is a packed thing then the label is sure to have the calories that the substance has.   

22) Be sure to burn out those extra calories by the end of the week.

If you feel that you have taken much more calories than you should have during the week, it happens you know, and then make sure that you work off those additional calories by the end of the week.  

23) Do not skip meals.

The worst things you can do while watching your diet is to skip a meal.

It has just the opposite effect of what you desire. You need to have at least four regular meals every day. 

24) Keep away from fried things.

Fried things are an absolute no-no. The more fried things that you avoid, the lesser weight you will gain.

Fried things are called so because they are fried in oil or fat. Even when the external oil is drained away, there is still a lot of hidden oil in it so stay away from it.
25) Fresh vegetables are much better than cooked or canned vegetables.

Try to eat your vegetables raw. When you cook them, you are in fact removing nearly half the vitamins in them. Canned vegetables too are processed and are not nearly half as good as fresh vegetables.

When you buy your vegetables it would be a good thing to see if the label says that it is pesticide free.
