HERE is an article with some diet tips from some top trainers and nutritionists. Most of them are pretty good and all of them are accurate!
Summary:
1) Have fruit for breakfast (start your day healthfully and your likely to continue it for the rest of the day)
2) Have dairy throughout the day (it has been shown to increase overall weight-loss. If you're vegan, don't fret! Focus on eating more veggies to decrease the calorie count and increase your overall nutrition)
3) Eat carbs before sundown (eat your carbs earlier in the day so you can utilize them throughout the day and prevent any excess from being stored as fat)
4) Stand to boost calorie burn (stand when lifting weights and stand more during the day)
5) Hop, skip, and jump (try varied workouts, like skipping and jump roping, instead of continuous repetitive motion workouts like treadmill running and elliptical machines. You'll get to use muscles you might not even know exist!)
6) Give yourself a curfew (go to bed earlier to prevent hunger and late-night snacking)
7) Gross yourself out (when having a craving, think about a food that grosses you out. It can help to stop the urge)
8) Have an amazing race (try a circuit workout with 6 different activities 5 times for a total of 30 minutes. Make sure to choose full-body exercises like squats and push-ups)
9) Walk more (increase your daily walking 2,000 steps to burn an extra 100cal/day)
10) Decrease your sodium intake (to prevent excess water weight)
11) Get more sleep
