Eat home-cooked meals at least five days a week. A Consumer Reports survey found this was a top habit of "successful losers." Sound daunting? Cooking may be easier than you think.

"I've used the analogy before of the Boston Marathon, where, you know, to qualify ... you need to be a very, very fast runner," says Freedhoff.
