    1. Do exercise. (Not the fake I'm moving so this must be exercising. Put real effort into finding out how hard to push yourself.)
    2. Don't allow any artificial sweeteners to enter your body.

    Do what you like.

    Don't feel the need to justify it.

    Do: Enjoy life. Don't always skip the parties or going out restaurants with family/friends because of your diet. When you do go out, pick the smarter choices so you don't go too far over your calories (or not at all!).

    Don't: Let one bad week ruin your motivation! Just let it encourage you to try harder this week. It's much easier to lose the pound or two you gained than giving it all up and starting from square one.

    Do: Exercise and monitor how many calories you are consuming - macros too if you're not just a beginner
    Don't: Cut anything out entirely - live and enjoy your life, this is supposed to be a whole lifestyle change - not a 'diet' - if you're serious that is. And don't listen to most advice going out on here, mostly bro science. Research things for yourselves from validated sources (i.e not fitness mags or supplement companies spreading their bull ****)

    1 do - eat what you want in moderation
    1 don't - cut out anything entirely because it's difficult to sustain forever and it's supposed to be a lifestyle change

    These are my top 2 as well, as to make it a lifestyle and not another diet!

    Do: Eat plenty of fruits and veggies! You can't go wrong with fruits and veggies! They are very filling and have little calories. You can almost go crazy with them!

    Don't: Over train. I learned that if I keep my heart rate in the targeted heart rate zone (70%-85%) for 20-45 mins, I see most results than when I did high-intensity! High-intensity shot my heart rate up to 95% which made my body burn from a different source other than fat!!

    ROFL, this just made my day.

    Do: try different approaches. There is no diet or meal plan that can be 1 size fits all, everyone is different. If something doesn't work, vary it up or try something new.
    Don't: give up just because you hit a plateau. They happen. I have hit several, even been on one for about a year, essentially maintaining. But I am trying a new approach and losing again, so never get discouraged! You will make it to goal if you stick with it.

    Do: What works for you. And the only way to know what works for you is to play trial and error. Try everything and stick with what works.

    Don't: Give up after a week when you don't think you've lost enough. The process of finding a healthier lifestyle well outweighs losing the weight quickly.
