anyone have special tricks or tips to be implemented into malaysia unhealthy eating lifestyle?

such as

1. when ordering drinks, opt for water / tea or diet soda
2. opt for chicken breast instead of fried chicken etc..

cooking food by yourself is the probably the best idea for a healthier lifestyle as you would know what you put in your food.

but if you have to eat out, ask for "kurang gula" for drinks and ask to be served in smaller plates if possible.
