Weight Loss Tip
Eat healthy
You need to eat healthy to loose weight. A healthy, well-balanced diet is the best way to lose excess weight i.e. a balanced diet of protein, unsaturated fat, carbohydrates (potatoes, wholegrain bread and pasta), vegetables and fruit. It should be low in saturated fat, salt and sugar.
Cook more
Store-bought ready meals are often with lots of fat, sugar and salt and many of these foods don't satisfy the hunger and you are left looking something else. Store-bought sandwiches and salads tend to be high in fat because they contain butter, mayonnaise, creamy dressings – or all three.
You can take control of your diet by cooking more in home.
Shop at supermarket store
Develop a habit of checking the nutrition information on all foods before you but them.
For example, reduced fat crisps may be lower in fat than a standard bag, but they are by no means a low-fat food. As a guide: 20g fat per 100g is a lot - 4g fat per 100g is OK
It is good to eat more fruit and vegetables
A study in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association found that slim people ate one more portion of fruit a day than those who were overweight. So eat lots of fruits.
Alcohol intake
Alcohol gives you empty calories. The more you drink, the more you relax your inhibitions, including those that control appetite. You are far more likely to overeat on a night out or when recovering the next day. Check how much you can avoid.
Exercise
The more exercise you do, the more calories you burn, and the more likely you are to lose weight.
For weight-loss purposes you need to do 30 minutes of aerobics exercise 5 days a week.
That means running, walking, cycling, aerobics or swimming which ever suits you. For it to work, you have to get your heartbeat up and keep it up.
Consistency is the key
Please be consistent.
