1. Portion control will help you lose weight. 
Eat less. Particularly in the evening, when you can't burn it off. Going to bed earlier helps with late night cravings.

2. Sharply decreasing fat intake will make your body more defined as you lose fat surrounding your muscles. Apply this rule to animal fats, not nut or fish oils, which protect your heart and brain.

3. Proteins are to build muscle mass.
Find healthy sources of protein, since cutting animal fat means eating less red meat. Lean white meats without skin, more beans, tofu (not unfermented soy products), some fish (not the mercury-laden ones).

4. Added or refined sugar (ie, simple carbs) is the enemy. Your body doesn't need it at all, it gets all it needs already from fruits and vegetables (and the processed crap we all eat from time to time).

5. Complex carbohydrates should be whole grain, to add more fiber and increase satiety. Reduce a little bit, in the spirit of portion control. Carbs are mostly dangerous because of what we put on them (butter on bread, fatty/sugary/salty sauces on pasta, etc). So hold the sauce!

Slimming and toning your body is 80% nutrition and 20% exercise. Pay attention to what you eat.
