  Workout In the Morning when you wake up on an empty stomach. At night your body goes into a hibernation mode, you slowly burn all of your complex carbs. When you wake up your blood sugar is low and your body starts to tap into your fat reserves. A 20 -60 min workout is best in the morning.

  To supercharge your fat burn, and gain lean muscle. You can add another 20-60 min workout 6-8 hours later in the day. I like to run in the morning, and then do my weight training later after work. Remember when you weight train you only have about 45 min tops to tap into that prime protein level.

  Drink green tea/herbal teas instead of eating sweets. Tea preparation has been proven to get your mind off of eating sweets, and the aroma and herbs are good for your body. I prefer tea from Teavana or Tazo Tea from Starbucks. Be smart when you do eat sweets, and don't over eat them. Some good substitutes for sweets are fruit instead of candy, or Welches Fruit snacks (0 grams of fat).

  Drink plenty of water! Set a goal and stick to it (at least 68 oz a day). A good way is to buy a large water bottle ( at least 24 oz) and remember how many times you fill it up. Take your water bottle with you everywhere. A good substitute for soda is always the diet version, but even better is Ginger Ale, and your best bet is none at all.

  Drink 1-2 8oz glasses of water before meals. This helps the digestive process, and really helps you eat less.
