Key for Weight Loss

The key to weight loss!

Suggestions for safe and effective weight loss include:

-Don't crash diet. You'll most likely regain the lost weight within five years.
-Aim for slow weight loss. You should lose no more than 0.5kg a week or 10kg in six months.
-Aim to lose 10cm from around your waist in six months. This is more important for your general health than the number of kilos you lose.
-Cut down on dietary fats, especially saturated fat.
-Cut back on refined sugars.
-Increase your intake of fresh fruit, vegetables and wholegrain breads and cereals.
-Consume less alcohol.
-Eat less takeaway and snack foods.
-Exercise for approximately 30 minutes at least a few times every week. Introduce more movement into your day - try to accumulate 30 minutes of walking daily.
-Don't eliminate any food group - choose from a wide range of foods every day instead and choose 'whole', less processed foods. Have a regular pattern of eating and stick to it.
-Drink at least 1,500ml of water per day.
