13. Don't eat anything normally on a side plate
When they come round with the bread basket, just say no! One roll or slice of bread with butter or olive oil can give you over 300 calories before you even start - and it's not even the tastiest part of the meal! The same goes for prawn crackers and poppadums.

14. Check labels
Always hungry? Those low-calorie snacks might be a con, containing few calories but also hardly any food. A packet of low-fat crisps contains only 28g of potato (an ounce) making them 140 calories an ounce. Real potato is 50 calories an ounce. No wonder you're hungry after such a small snack!

15. Drink milk
Dairy calcium has been proven to help the body burn fat. Three low-fat servings per day, for three months, saw an extra 11lb fat loss in a controlled group.
