3) Drink about 6-8 glasses of water a day so that you can flush the toxins out of your body.

4) Limit your alcohol intake as it contains a lot of calories.

5) Make it a point to visit the grocery store only after your meals because you will obviously buy in lesser quantities. Strictly purchase according to the list you have prepared at home.
