19. Artificial Sweeteners.
It would be wonderful if artificial sweeteners actually satisfied your cravings for sugar without adding any negative chemicals or unwanted calories. But unfortunately, studies have shown that your brain still craves natural sugar, and artificial products tend to bloat you and cause gastrointestinal issues.  Best to avoid sweeteners if at all possible and instead try to enjoy naturally sweet foods in moderation.

20. Moving around more during the day.
It’s not always easy when you sit at a desk all day, but try to move around more throughout your day. Take the stairs instead of the elevator, take a short walk during your lunch break, take the long route to the bathroom (unless it’s urgent, of course) and do small at-desk exercises to engage your core or flex your leg muscles.
