Many studies have proven that all diets are not 100% effective! The secret to losing weight is to make permanent choices in what we do. Here we have some simple long term commitments:

Drink fruit juices instead of soft drinks

Always select fruits as a dessert

Start most meal with a large salad

Use whole grains pasta, bread and rice

Commit to whole wheat bread

Take longer time to eat at least 20 minutes. It takes time for your body to send its satisfaction signal

Always park your car far rather than near

Use the stairs instead of taking the elevator.
