TOP TIPS
Our top tips for weight loss and maintaining a healthy weight
-
Drink More Water
Aim to drink 1.5-2 litres of fluid each day. Drinking a glass of water 20 mins before a meal may help curb your appetite
-
Read food labels
Low sugar foods usually contain less than 5g sugars per 100g of product. Low fat foods contain less than 3g fat per 100g of product
-
Less Carbs
Reduce your carbohydrate intake (fat intake is usually self-limiting)
-
Exercise regularly
This can help burn off calories and keep your body toned whilst losing weight Use a combination of aerobic and resistance exercise (you know your burning calories when your heart rate increases with exercise!)
-
Have Protein For Breakfast
Start the day with a higher protein breakfastt. Half an avocado and 2 poached eggs keeps you full longer than a bowl of cereal with milk.
-
More Veg
Fill half your plate with vegetables. These contain fibre which helps you feel full. Watch your portion sizes of carbs and proteins. Most people have too much of these. Have a box of chopped vegetables in your fridge to snack on (celery, cucumber, carrots)
-
Be aware of your alcohol intake
A pint of beer has almost 200 Kcal and a large glass of wine almost 230 Kcal. Drinking 5 pints a week is equivalent to having 220 donuts a year! Drinking a bottle of wine a week could lead to a weight gain of nearly 1lb a month
-
Chew Your Food
Cut into small pieces first. This will help with your digestion and prevent over eating. Aim to chew each mouthful 20 times
-
Avoid sugary drinks
Avoid sugary drinks and fruit juices (eat the whole fruit instead). Sugary drinks do not contain nutrients. A can of cola can contain 150 Kcals. If you drink one each day at the end of the week this is 1000 kcals extra
-
Eat Unprocessed Foods
These are foods without packaging or contain only a few ingredients. Foods which do not have a bar code such as fruit and vegetables, lean chicken, fish, meat wholegrain rice
