Although there are general facts known to all, a proper diet plan will differ from person to person depending on the deficiency or abundance of certain nutrients in one's body. But a well-balance diet has to include plenty of fruits, vegetables and lots of water to keep the weight away.

A vast topic written well in brief. I would like to add though:
> Consume only whole grain products, and brown rice only. Why? Because they are more nutritious, contain complex carbohydrates which are converted into glucose and energy more slowly and therefore are less likely to be converted into fats than processed grain. They also contain more fiber and hence give a feeling of fullness causing you to eat less.
> Fruits and vegetables must be eaten. But here I would like to mention the calorie content of three fruits( cals/per average piece) 1) Banana - 107 cals 2)Dates - 250 cals 3) Avocado - 340 cals.
> Tea and coffee, by themselves hardly contain any calories. It is the addition of milk, or cream and sugar that add calories to them.
> Oils should be used minimally. And the oils to be used are olive oil, cannola oil and/or coconut oil. Coconut oil is a surprise here, because it contains saturated fats, but it contains short or medium chain triglycerides which are converted easily into glucose and energy instead of being stored as fat.
