well, as said, " no pain, no gain !!" you'll need to take some drastic measures in your eating style and cuisines to get that belly in shape ! But on the other side, dieting ain't all that hyped . infact, it's just " eating in a regulated way "!!

So, how to execute dieting "in the right way"? Go on....
take a peep at these tips to diet the right way : -
1. Never Skip Breakfast
Skipping breakfast is never a good idea, especially not when dieting. After a long period of fasting (during sleep) your body needs to wake up again and start the process of digestion and calorie burning. The body needs some food to start up that process and to give you plenty of energy for the day to come. Eating a healthy breakfast is necessary to avoid hunger pangs or mood swings due to fluctuating blood sugar levels.

2. Chew the Food Thoroughly

Chewing properly aids digestion so food will leave the system sooner. Badly chewed food cannot be processed by the body and can cause stomach aches.

3. Do Not Fry Food

Frying food will add more calories to any type of food because in frying a lot of fat is added to the food. Preparing food under a grill, steam pan or oven will help the food keep its vitamin content and will not add additional calories to food.

4. Don't Eat While Watching Television

Watching television or reading a book when eating will take your attention away from the food. It is likely that you will not notice your body's signals when it is full and you continue eating. This will make you consume too many calories, one of the dangers of dieting and not paying attention to what you eat.

5. Drink Plenty of Water

Water helps keep the system clean and aids in digestions. Drink at least 6-8 glasses of water a day starting in the morning. Your skin will look better and hydrated and you will feel less hungry during the day when dieting.

6. Don't Eat White Foods

White bread and cakes should be avoided, they contain a lot of starch. Sugars and salt and should be replaced with fibrous wholemeal products. Starchy products will make you feel bloated and won't keep you feeling full for long.

7. Prepare Your Food

Restaurants will offer low-calorie meals but often they make use of processed ingredients containing lots of sugar and salt. You are better off preparing your own lunch to take to work, you will know what went into it and next to that you will save money!

8. Exercise

Increasing your exercise will help digestion and burns of calories! Exercise and dieting tips are all you need to get you started on your way to a healthier life. Twenty minutes of exercise a day is recommended. Try cycling, swimming or brisk walking as gentle exercise and work your way up to jogging or speed walking.

9. Benefits of Dieting

Maintaining a healthy diet and weight combined with regular excercise will help keep the body and muscles healthy. Benefits of dieting are:

• A healthy heart and body. Exercising at least ten minutes a day will keep you fit and healthy and will help keep resistance levels up.

• Losing weight will put less weight and strain on your muscles and joints resulting in less muscle pain.

• Using less sugar and carbohydrates will make you feel less tired, as the body needs less time to break these foods down.

10. Prevent Dieting Dangers

Eating small amounts regularly (or sticking to a plan of three meals and two healthy snacks a day) will keep your energy levels up. You need to eat something and drink some water after which you will feel better, eating too little food can never be part of any healthy dieting plan. 

With all these tips in mind, all you need it to fill your kitchen with healthy ingredients to start your health plan. Fad diets don't work and the only healthy diet with staying power is the one that provides you with healthy food, enabling you to lose weight slowly.
