Eat before going out

Before hitting the bar, eat a meal with at least six ounces of meat, poultry, or fish and a cup or more of cooked vegetables. When you’re full you’re less likely to cave in to high-fat bar food.

White out

Instead of buying white bread, stick to whole wheat. The added fiber in whole wheat bread will kill your appetite quicker than if you were eating white bread.

Drink plenty of water or other calorie-free beverages

People sometimes confuse thirst with hunger.

So you can end up eating extra calories when an ice-cold glass of water is really what you need. If you don’t like plain water, try adding citrus or a splash of juice, or brew infused teas like mango or peach, which have lots of flavor but no calories.

Always eat (a little) dessert

Sweets such as biscuits and low-fat sweetened yogurts signal your brain that the meal is over. Without them, you might not feel satiated-which might prevent those midnight cravings.

Rich sources of good fat

Fish is a rich source of omega–3 fatty acids (a GOOD fat). Omega–3s keep the heart from going into rhythm disorders–men who eat fish once a week have fewer heart attacks–and they may even ward off depression.

Avoiding a heavy meal before sex

Oysters and asparagus are assumed to be aphrodisiacs, but this is only because of visual or olfactory associations.

Champagne is a better bet, but choose a less acidic one, lest exotic Kama Sutra-style acts cause indigestion.

Life of a cup of coffee

Coffee only keeps for 15 to 20 minutes before beginning to lose its flavor. To keep coffee hot for a longer time, pour it into a vacuum server or thermos. And never, ever reheat or boil coffee.

Protect your great coffee

Keep brewing equipment clean. Old sediments easily make for rancid flavors in the cup. A good rule of thumb is if you smell an odor from your coffee making equipment, clean it. If you cannot remember the last time you cleaned your brewer, clean it.

Storing your coffee

The refrigerator is the mortal enemy of your coffee.

Taking coffee in and out of the fridge is a sure way to suck the flavor right out of it. Coffee that will be used frequently and immediately – whole bean or ground -  is ideally stored in an air tight, opaque, and glass or otherwise inert container.

Go for whole foods

The processed kind is lacking in nutrition and will make you fat. Look for things in their least processed form – whole grain instead of white or wheat bread, fresh fruit instead of canned or juice, whole grain cereal or oatmeal instead of all other kinds of cereal.

Choosing beans for coffee

Choose high quality Arabica beans.

The darker the roast, the stronger the coffee. Pre-ground coffee will be more convenient, but will not taste as good as freshly ground beans (assuming you have a high quality grinder).
