  Avoid late-night eating. You should avoid raiding your refrigerator at night. If you are working out consistently, then chances are your appetite will pick up and you are going to be ravenous, but the key is to replace those fattening snacks with healthy ones. Instead of eating a ton of bread, chips and other unhealthy items in the middle of the night, try snacking on carrots, celery or some type of fruit. Eating heavy before lying down could present a host of problems to your health.

  Avoid alcoholic beverages. Liquor is extremely high in calories. If you desire to lose a large amount of weight, it is a good idea to avoid the fruity drinks at the bar. Try a glass of wine instead. You can still have a good time without all the calories!
