10 Top Tips for you

1. Do not skip breakfast

Skipping breakfast will not help you lose weight. You could miss out on essential nutrients and you may end up snacking more throughout the day because you feel hungry.

2. Eat plenty of fruit and veg

Fruit and veg are low in calories and fat, and high in fibre ā€“ 3 essential ingredients for successful weight loss. They also contain plenty of vitamins and minerals.

3. Get more active

Being active is key to losing weight and keeping it off. As well as providing lots of health benefits, exercise can help burn off the excess calories you cannot lose through diet alone.

4. Drink plenty of water

People sometimes confuse thirst with hunger. You can end up consuming extra calories when a glass of water is really what you need.

5. Eat high fibre foods

Foods containing lots of fibre can help keep you feeling full, which is perfect for losing weight. Fibre is only found in food from plants, such as fruit and veg, oats, wholegrain bread, brown rice and pasta, and beans, peas and lentils.

6. Read food labels

Knowing how to read food labels can help you choose healthier options. Use the calorie information to work out how a particular food fits into your daily calorie allowance on the weight loss plan.

7. Use a smaller plate

Using smaller plates can help you eat smaller portions. By using smaller plates and bowls, you may be able to gradually get used to eating smaller portions without going hungry. It takes about 20 minutes for the stomach to tell the brain it's full, so eat slowly and stop eating before you feel full.

8. Do not stock junk food

To avoid temptation, do not stock junk food ā€“ such as chocolate, biscuits, crisps and sweet fizzy drinks ā€“ at home. Instead, opt for healthy snacks, such as fruit, unsalted rice cakes, oat cakes, unsalted or unsweetened popcorn, and fruit juice.

9. 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.

10. Eat a cheat meal

Have a check meal, not a cheat day. Do not ban foods you love from your weight loss plan completely. It will only make you crave them more. There's no reason you cannot enjoy the occasional treat as long as you stay within your daily calorie allowance.

Keep your body hydrated

Water to clean your body..

Water flushes toxins & waste from the body and transports nutrients to where they are needed. Daily fluid intake is essential for our body to function effeciently.

How much water?

On average it is recommended you drink at least 1.5 to 2 liters of water a day. So raise a glass of Hā‚‚O to good health!

Infusing your water with...

Try cucumber, mint, lemon, lime or ginger. This can be prepared in the morning and gives water a zingy taste and can help boost metabolism and cleanse the internal digestive tract.


A healthy active lifestyle

Many exercises can help you lose weight. Some great choices for burning calories include walking, jogging, running, cycling, swimming, weight training, interval training, yoga, and Pilates.

Have fun

That said, many other exercises can also help boost your weight loss efforts. Itā€™s most important to choose an exercise that you enjoy doing. This makes it more likely that youā€™ll stick to it long term and see results.

Walking is great for beginners

It can be done anywhere, doesnā€™t require equipment, and puts minimal stress on your joints. To get started, aim to walk for 30 minutes 3ā€“4 times a week. You could try to extend this to 45-60 minutes 5-6 times a week for better results.

Jogging or running

Both jogging and running are great exercises that can be done anywhere. To get started, aim to jog for 20ā€“30 minutes, 3ā€“4 times per week. If it is hard on your joints, try running on softer surfaces like grass. Many treadmills also have built-in cushioning.

Best exercises for calorie burn

The following table includes the top 12 calorie-burning exercises. These exercises burn the most calories per hour. Remember, the calories listed are an estimate. Your exact calorie burn depends on factors like intensity, duration, and your weight.

Cycling

Cycling is a popular exercise that improves your fitness and can help you lose weight.

Cycling is great for people of all fitness levels, from beginners to athletes.

Did you know about Yoga?

Did you know yoga is a great weight loss exercise as well? It can be done nearly anywhere and it doesn't just burn calories but also teaches you mindfulness to help you resist food cravings.

Hiking

The table below compares the calories burned per hour either hiking at a shallow grade of 1ā€“5% ā€” assuming a moderate pace of 2.9ā€“3.5 mph (4.7ā€“5.6 kph) ā€” with walking on flat ground at an average pace of 3 mph (4.8 kph) or a brisk pace of 4.0 mph (6.4 kph).

Body weight/ Exercise Moderate-paced (1ā€“5% grade) Moderate-paced (flat) Brisk walking
