20 Habits to loose weight and stay fit

I cam across a list of 20 habits that should help loose weight and stay fit. I will list them below and update the explanations for each item later on:

1. Eat an early dinner
2. Weigh yourself daily

4. Reward yourself with a healthy dessert (about 200 calories) if you stuck to task during the day
5. Read diet / exercise tips
6. Eat breakfast
7. Take snack breaks
8. Drink water (2 glasses before a meal)
9. Order a la carte (not value meals)
10. Choose whole grains (whole wheat products)
11. Eat spicy food (capsaicin in chilies = appetite suppressant)
12. Sleep between 6 to 8 hours continuously (not less not more)
13. Manage stress (cortisol releases = promotes abdominal fat storage)
