12 tips to help you lose weight

Get off to the best possible start on the NHS weight loss plan with these 12 diet and exercise tips.

1. Do not skip 🥞
Skipping breakfast will not help you lose weight. You could miss out on essential nutrients and you may end up snacking more throughout the day because you feel hungry.

Check out healthy breakfast recipes

2. Eat regular meals
Eating at regular times during the day helps burn calories at a faster rate. It also reduces the temptation to snack on foods high in fat and sugar.

3. Eat plenty of fruit and veg
Fruit and veg are low in calories and fat, and high in fibre – 3 essential ingredients for successful weight loss. They also contain plenty of vitamins and minerals.

4. Get more active
Being active is key to losing weight and keeping it off. As well as providing lots of health benefits, exercise can help burn off the excess calories you cannot lose through diet alone.

Find an activity you enjoy and are able to fit into your routine.

5. Drink plenty of water
People sometimes confuse thirst with hunger. You can end up consuming extra calories when a glass of water is really what you need.

6. Eat high fibre foods
Foods containing lots of fibre can help keep you feeling full, which is perfect for losing weight. Fibre is only found in food from plants, such as fruit and veg, oats, wholegrain bread, brown rice and pasta, and beans, peas and lentils.

7. Read food labels
Knowing how to read food labels can help you choose healthier options. Use the calorie information to work out how a particular food fits into your daily calorie allowance on the weight loss plan.

8. Use a smaller plate
Using smaller plates can help you eat smaller portions. By using smaller plates and bowls, you may be able to gradually get used to eating smaller portions without going hungry. It takes about 20 minutes for the stomach to tell the brain it's full, so eat slowly and stop eating before you feel full.

9. Do not ban foods
Do not ban any foods from your weight loss plan, especially the ones you like. Banning foods will only make you crave them more. There's no reason you cannot enjoy the occasional treat as long as you stay within your daily calorie allowance.

10. Do not stock junk food
To avoid temptation, do not stock junk food – such as chocolate, biscuits, crisps and sweet fizzy drinks – at home. Instead, opt for healthy snacks, such as fruit, unsalted rice cakes, oat cakes, unsalted or unsweetened popcorn, and fruit juice.

11. Cut down on alcohol
A standard glass of wine can contain as many calories as a piece of chocolate. Over time, drinking too much can easily contribute to weight gain.

12. Plan your meals
Try to plan your breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for the week, making sure you stick toyour calorie allowance. You may find it helpful to make a weekly shopping list.

👉🏾 Let’s talk about your goals.
⠀
What was it that motivated you to take action towards your health and fat loss goals? 🤔
⠀
Was it to feel more confident in your body?
⠀
Was it to have more energy? ✨
⠀
Was it to become healthier? ⚕️
⠀
Was it to have an overall better quality of life? 🙂
⠀
What was it?? 🤔
⠀
Everyone has different reasons for why they want to level up and become better versions of themselves. 💯
⠀
What usually motivates most people to take action is when they reach the point of extreme discomfort. 💯
⠀
To better explain, it’s that point when a person gets fed up and says to themselves: “Enough is enough, I can’t take it anymore” 🤬
⠀
That’s usually what motivates a person to take action and start making changes. 🎬
⠀
👉🏾 That motivation and hunger to see change usually stays with a person for a while until they make progress or reach their goal and then the motivation wears off due to becoming comfortable again.
⠀
❌ Comfort is great but comfort is also what can cause a person to become lazy and stop doing the things which allowed them to see success. 😔
⠀
✅ The key to sustainable goals long term is making it a LIFESTYLE.
⠀
✅ Becoming healthier is a LIFESTYLE that you must continue to maintain, in order to be healthy.
⠀
✅ Losing fat and building your dream body is also a LIFESTYLE of consistently implementing the right habits.
⠀
✅ Once you reach your end goal, you have to continue implementing the exact habits that got you there, in order to maintain your results.
⠀
👉🏾 It’s just like taking care of your hygiene.
⠀
❌ You don’t just get clean a few times a week, NO, you do it daily because maintaining a healthy hygiene is your LIFESTYLE.
⠀
✅ So the Mindset Shift that you need to make in order to reach or sustain your fat loss goals, is thinking long-term, by
making the process a LIFESTYLE!
⠀
If you lose motivation during your journey, revisit the pain and discomfort you felt previously, that first got you started, and get back in alignment with
your goals. 😔
⠀
✅ Keep showing up for yourself and NEVER give up.
