Check with a Doctor before undertaking a new eating regime even for healthy weight loss.
This month's Top Healthy Tips For Losing Weight :
- 1. Set realistic goals and write them down. Aim to change your behaviour gradually so healthy eating habits become a way of life rather than quick weight loss that will go back on again if you go back to old habits. Small changes over time can make a big difference to your health and give good weight loss that can be sustained.
- Reduce your fat intake by replacing fatty meat with lean meat, chicken and fish. Use reduced fat milk, cheese and yoghurt. Grill, bake or boil instead of frying and plan healthy meals ahead for weight loss eating.
- Replace processed sugary snacks with fruit.
- Eat smaller portions. Use a smaller plate and arrange your food so it to looks attractive.
- Eat a healthy nutritious breakfast, it is the most important meal of the day and will kick start your metabolism. Sugar free muesli, fruit salad or smoothies are good options.
- Keep a daily food diary of what you eat. Be honest, this is for you. You may realise that you are eating more than you thought.
- Build more activity into your day. Turn off the TV and get off the sofa. Use a pedometer to ensure you take 10,000 steps a day
- Spend time outdoors. You will feel refreshed and have more energy if you can get out in your lunch break. Think about how much time you are spending sitting down. Walking is free, the weather seems to be improving and the evenings are also getting lighter.
- Laughter is a great healthy tip for losing weight as it burns calories and exercises your diaphragm, abdominal, respiratory, facial, leg, and back muscles; massages abdominal organs and tones the intestines.
- Besides losing weight, think of your health. Extra weight puts more strain on your heart, muscles, joints and ligaments and increases your risk of heart disease, stroke, certain cancers, gout, osteoarthritis and other diseases.
