However now that it's January it's a new year filled with new goals and possibilities and if loosing weight is one of these for you let us help break down how to loose weight the healthy, safe and permanent way.
Eat Little But Often- Eating small amounts often such as six small meals a day as opposed to 3 larger meals will keep you fuller for longer, able to eat a variety of foods in the day with nutrients and minerals and also helps to curb cravings and snacking.
Stay Away From The Fad Diets- The media is filled with quick fix solutions and diets, particularly this time of year. However many of these diets or supplements can be very dangerous and bad for your health. Loosing weight slowly and in a healthy way has proven to be more effective. Often on these diets when a person goes back to eating normally they gain back the weight they lost.
Exercise AND Eat Well- Many believe the key to weight loss is diet, whilst this may be a major part of it exercise is also important too. Combining both will mean not only are you fit but more likely to keep the weight off. Plus if you have a cheat day you can work it off at the gym! There are so many ways to exercise to suit everyone's schedules whether than be at the gym, at home or in a class/sporting club.
Cut Back On Alcohol- They call it beer belly for a reason! Alcoholic drinks can be deceiving, your favorite drinks could be filled with sugar and calories. Cutting back on the booze especially if you do drink often can be a tremendous help with weight loss. If you still want to have the occasional drink swap your mixers such as coke and lemonade for diet/sugar free.
Don't Become Obsessed By The Scales- When loosing weight it can become so easy to be obsessed with the numbers on the scale, to the point where many of us base our self worth on this. Remember that although being healthy is important, weight is just a number. Everyone in the world comes in different shapes and sizes that is what makes us unique! Many things will determine your weight such as your BMI and age etc. What may be a good weight for you might not be for somebody else. Being happy and healthy is the most important thing to come from a healthy lifestyle, not how much weight you can loose.
Make Loosing Weight Fun!- Weight loss might not seem like the most exciting thing to do however there is many ways you can make it more enjoyable. Perhaps get your friends involved and go to the gym together and keep each other motivated. Or join a weight loss club in your local area to meet like minded people to help support and encourage each other. Also reward yourself, learn to reward yourself with things other than food maybe a new piece of clothing for dropping down a dress size or a new hairstyle for the new improve you. The point is you should celebrate all of your achievements however small they may seem.
We hope your exams have all gone well and that your all staying on track with your new years resolutions. Make 2016 your best year yet!
