Losing (or shedding) weight

Weight loss and dieting is a huge industry; but not always a successful one. Diet programs can and do work very well if you stick to them.

I find that often the clients who come to see me have often been through the yo-yo cycle of diet-weight gain-diet.

So if you are thinking of shedding unwanted pounds (or kilos) what practical steps can you take today.

1) Keep a food and mood diary it is surprising just how taking this simple step can enable you to take control of just when and why you eat.

2) Try moving your main meal to the middle of the day, this is when we tend most active and so most able to burn of the calories.

3) Stay well hydrated throughout the day, a good water balance will tend to balance out your mood and so stop the tendency to comfort eat.

4) Consider taking a multi-vitamin; as you make changes in your diet it can help you retain all the nutrients you need to start the metabolism working more effectively.

5) Take some moderate exercise each and every day, reducing your calorific intake alone is unlikely to be successful.


6) Try moving your carbohydrate (rice, potatoes, pastry etc.) foods to the beginning and middle of the day and focus on proteins (meat, mushroom etc.) and vegetables to the end of the day.


7) Remember that changes are for the whole of your life going back to regular jam doughnut sessions will just take you back to the old cycles of diet and weight gain.

If all of that still doesn't deliver what you need then give me a call!
