12 Tips to Help you Lose Weight

By Parul Dube

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

Do not skip breakfast

You could miss out on essential nutrients and you may end up snacking more throughout the day because you feel hungry.

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.

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.

Get more active

As well as providing lots of health benefits, exercise can help burn off the excess calories you cannot lose through diet alone.

Drink plenty of water

You can end up consuming extra calories when a glass of water is really what you need.

Eat high fibre foods

Foods containing lots of fibre can help keep you feeling full, which is perfect for losing weight.

Read food labels

Knowing how to read food labels can help you choose healthier options.

Use a smaller plate

By using smaller plates and bowls, you may be able to gradually get used to eating smaller portions without going hungry.

Do not ban foods

Do not ban any foods from your weight loss plan, especially the ones you like.

Do not stock junk food

To avoid temptation, do not stock junk food – such as chocolate, biscuits, crisps and sweet fizzy drinks – at home.

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.

Plan your meals

Try to plan your breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for the week, making sure you stick to your calorie allowance.
