1. Eat proportionately and organize your calorie intake wisely according to each meal that includes 3 main meals (breakfast/lunch/dinner) and two snacks in between.
2. Remember, fasting alone will not help you lose weight. That’s the same goes for not eating the whole day but tend to enjoy dinner only everyday.
3. Cut your favorite fruits in small pieces and substitute it with your unhealthy snacks. It’s best to have it handy and pre-prepared always.
4. Don’t exceed your junk food intake. The best way is not to take at all, but if it seems little hard to do so you can always use small bowl for serving, and don’t ever have a second refill.
5. If you fell under the bread lovers, opt for the healthier option - whole grains.
   
6. Avoid food that has more than 10% of fat per serving. How to know? You will just have to read the food label.
7. Try taking notes of what you eat in two weeks and see how you can improve your menu from time to time.
8. Butter has higher fats than margarine, so take low saturated fat and low cholesterol margarine instead, such as vegetable oil based margarine.
9. Bring a bottle of water (even the small one) whenever you go so that you can avoid getting dehydrated and lower your desire for sugar-loaded drinks.
10. Get a partner to be on your healthy diet plan, so you can motivate and help each other out. But remember, it is best to keep it to only two, more people will bring risk to your plan’s successfulness.

18. Craving for some chocolate? Not a problem but only choose low fat dark chocolates.

If you do not have a proper steamboat, any pot will do. Use an electric or gas stove. Otherwise, even a rice cooker can do the job.

Scoop out the soup stock and put into the steamboat. Let it boil and start cooking the food.

Usually, at the end of the cooking, add in noodles like yellow noodles/green pea vermicelli or beehoon. By now, the steamboat soup will be rather salty but tasty. Knock in eggs to cook with the noodles.

Serve the steamboat with cut spring onions, chilies, soya sauce, chillie sauce and garlic oil.
