Set Goals: Initiate your training program by setting a realistic goal which can be either short term or long term. Short terms goals- say if you want to lose 5-8 pounds till mid-June or want six-pack abs before next spring. Stick to goals you think you can fulfill.

Level Body Water Balance: Hydrating our body is more important than we think. Drinking water helps in better digestion, and you get more nutrients from food you eat. Try drinking as much water you can or just fill half-gallon jug and make an aim to finish if off as day ends. It's also better to make a habit of drinking 1 glass of boiled water every day in morning, instead of coffee.

Foods like oatmeal, barley, fish, chicken, cooked vegetables, hot soups, salads, and more cooked properly with ginger, cinnamon, black cardamom & more helps body in different ways. Don't eliminate fats completely from your meals as they are one of the essential building blocks required by body. Instead of bad saturated fats, go for healthier "Fatty" stuff like almonds, pine nuts, cashews, walnuts, seeds, nut butters etc. Preferably, use olive oil to cook food. Drink ginger or green tea instead of black tea, while consuming coffee is fine. Stick to lighter foods at late at night dinners as they are easy to digest. Avoid alcohol and eliminate excess of sugar from your diet.
