Fish oil has recognized benefits and adding more garlic to your food probably wouldn't hurt either. Olive oil is generally better than other oils when it comes to eating healthy.

At work, throw away almost anything that came out of a vending machine. You may have water when you get hungry the first time. The next time you may have an apple. After that, water again. Next time, some kind of nuts. I don't really care what kind of nuts, almonds
would be good. When some schmuck tries to hand you a donut, stick an apple in your mouth and politely refuse the donut. Donuts bad.

Find some way to get moving every day. A little more exercise is good for muscle tone and alertness. However, it is still food that will affect your weight. Exercise is mostly about maintaining a good quality of life.
