48. Keep out of the kitchen.

Don't eat after dinner at least once this week. Nonstop nighttime nibbling can have you noshing your way into the caloric equivalent of a fourth meal. Once the dinner dishes are done, declare the kitchen "closed for the evening" by shutting off the light and not entering again until dawn. If you are truly hungry, allow yourself only a small snack such as a piece of fruit, tossed salad, or a yogurt.
