How To Lose Weight

by

Finding it hard to lose weight, try these tips:

  • Eat more protein, a high protein breakfast will stop you from feeling hungry through the morning. Try eggs, greek yoghurt or avocado on toast.
  • Eat whole, natural foods, not processed, just think of eating healthier not just about losing weight. Whole foods can be more filling so you are less likely over eat. Try oatmeal, quinoa, eggs, meat and fish, boiled potatoes, fruits and vegetables.
  • Don’t worry about counting calories, just aim to keep your portions low.
  • Lift weights 3 times a weeks, this will help to speed up your metabolism so you will burn more calories.
  • Eat slowly, so you will feel like you are eating more.
  • Drink more water to boost your metabolism.
  • Avoid sugary drinks and fruit juice.
  • Consider taking a multivitamin when you are trying to lose weight to make sure you are getting all your nutrients.

Simple Fitness Tips

by

 

  1.  Try to exercise most days even if it’s just going for a walk, doing yoga or swimming. It doesn’t have to be hard core every day but try to get into the habit of moving as much as possible.
  2. Set realistic goals that you are more likely to stick to, you won’t lose weight overnight or suddenly become fit, it takes time. Aim to just lose 1 or 2 kg a month or start using the gym just 2 or 3 times a week, even if it’s for just for 20 minutes. You are more likely to stick to the new routine and be successful.
  3. Try interval training, you can use any machine or even run outside, try a 20 minute interval session by going hard for 3 minutes and taking 1 minute easy, repeat this 5 or 6 times. You will burn more calories and make the session more interesting.
  4. Aim to eat more natural foods, avoiding junk and processed foods. Try to eat plenty of colourful fruits and vegetables, around 5 to 7 portions a day.
  5. Drink more water and avoid plastic bottles by using glass or a stainless steel flask to help protect the environment. Aim to drink 2 litres a day.
  6. Try to think positively, say to your self you enjoy exercise, you feel fitter each day or I am losing weight.
