1.  Drink a minimum of 6 to 8 glasses of water per day.

2. When possible, during the course of your weight loss program, eliminate all alcohol.

3.  Eat plenty of fresh veggies.  What matters most is the foods you select, your total daily caloric consumption and  how many hours a day you have an eating window.

4. Eat a balanced diet including healthy carbs.  Minimize sugar from highly processed foods and carbs. Avoid foods high in gluten.  Studies have shown excess sugar is stored as fat.

5.  Strive to consume healthy saturated fats such as lean meats, fish, nuts and foods such as avocado.

Additional Best Diet Rules To Consider

A.  No one meal is more important than any other.  While some diet experts believe breakfast is the most important meal of the day, this may only be true for some people.  If you love breakfast and usually eat it, then do so.  Otherwise, eat at the times you are hungry.

B.  Eat whatever time of the day you wish, just don't overeat.  Studies have shown eating too many calories per day, will cause weight gain, regardless of when they are consumed.

C.  It doesn't matter whether you eat one meal per day or a series of small ones.  The bottom line is how many calories you consume.

D.  Take the appropriate amount of Vitamin D for your age and body weight (2,000 to 3,000 IU is the healthiest recommended range).  When people have a balanced Vitamin D concentration, they tend to maintain a lower overall weight.

E.  Exercise on an empty stomach, but make sure you're well rested and hydrated.

F.  Short fasts of 12-16 hours in one day or one day per month can be very beneficial for accelerated weight loss and improved health.

G.  Carefully read labels.  Sugar and other unhealthy food additives can be cloaked in unusual ingredient labels.

H.  Unless you have specific health problems, you can never eat too much protein. The more protein you eat, the more you burn.
