...A heavy and rich diet will make you feel lethargic, bring in more calories and will add to your belly fat.

Some of the dietary guidelines that you should keep in mind are as follows:

Eat food that has high quality protein. Good protein is great for building muscle mass. But make sure you also exercise a lot when you include proteins in your diet.
Complex carbohydrates are another ingredient to add to your list. It is believed that complex carbohydrates regulate your blood sugar. Some foods that have complex carbohydrates include wheat bread, yams and oatmeal.
You should also include a small amount of healthy fats. Do remember that you cannot deny fat to your body and need to eat at least a small amount of healthy fats like Omega 3 fats that will nourish your body. So, stock up on fresh fish and broil, bake or grill it into delicious and healthy dishes.
Cardio and resistance training: You need to find time to exercise everyday. Work with a personal trainer and create a schedule so that you can work in cardio and resistance training a few times every week. Also include other forms of exercises such as brisk walks, cycling, running up and down the stairs, jogging, rowing and a sport like badminton, table tennis or lawn tennis. Exercising will improve your metabolism rate, make your muscles work and help you burn fat.
Eliminate bad lifestyle habits: If you smoke or drink a lot, then curb those habits. If stress is the bane of your life, identify the reason behind your stress and work on it. You can take up meditation and yoga, try a new hobby and reduce your work-related goals to reduce stress. Take time out everyday to do something that makes you happy. It could be something as simple as gazing at the night sky or reading a good book or writing in your journal. Reduced stress will prevent food disorders, and compulsive eating.
Drink plenty of water: As usual, drinking enough water through the day will keep you fit and healthy. Water will flush out the toxins and make you feel energized. If you're feeling better, you can work more efficiently and include more fitness activities.
