Great and relatively short video about the subject:

#  simply burn more calories than you take in
pure maths, no explanation required 

# drink your coffee black - no milk, no sugar, in the morning, before workout
Black coffee pushes your metabolism, lets your cells release fat and reduces the absorption of sugar in your digestion system.

# eat carbs *after* proteins (except after workout)
You can eat carbs, pasta, whatever, but eat it after some salad, proteins etc. so your metabolism

# don't work out too much or too long
Because stress raises Cortisol (stress hormone) which you dont want and 
fights its antipode Testosterone (which you do want) (yes, even if you are a woman)

# don’t drink your calories
only drink water or tee, coffee without sugar or milk
Most other drinks have lots of calories:
 - No coffee drinks at Starbucks (300-550 calories!)
 - No smoothies or shakes  (250-850 calories)
 - No sodas, no juices (120 - 200 calories)
