I can only agree with the last one there as a fitness trainer.
You can have your fast food, you can have those devil'ish foods you like, but only in small moderation, maybe twice a week, and ONLY IF you routinely eat 5 meals a day. This makes it practically impossible for your body to store fat from those bad foods, but obviously overconsumption or routine consumption of bad food will prove that wrong.
When you train hard, your body needs a sufficient amount of nutrients, EVEN during sleep, otherwise if you starve yourself before going to sleep, your body will eat at lean tissue which is bad. So you can eat a small meal before going to bed, but just make sure it isn't high in fat or simple carbohydrates, and certainly not a big meal.
although walking 30 minutes a day isn't bad, it can be better. if you're tryin to lose fat, one key component that will help speed the process is resistance training. building muscle burns fat.
so i'd revise that list.
*Eat at least 5 times a day
*Keep the meals small but not too small
*Throw in some cardio and weight training throughout the week
*Try to get rid of foods high in saturated fat, and simple carbs.
