Want to lose weight this January? Then follow these tips
Most people fall off the diet wagon because they are continually hungry, especially when on restrictive diet plans.
Freelance registered dietitian, Priya Tew, says: “At a time when talk of weight loss is everywhere, there is a real temptation is to look for a quick fix or try the latest fad diet. My top tips are to cut out the dieting and set realistic, smaller lifestyle targets that are more likely be successful.
“It is best to avoid diets that encourage you to cut out whole food groups or substitute meals as these may result in short-term weight loss but ultimately lead to weight regain.”
Here are Priya’s Tips for 2013:
· Eating regular meals boosts your metabolism and helps you lose weight whereas skipping meals does not aid weight loss
· Boost your immunity with the true superfoods - fruit and vegetables. Eat a range of colours to get a range of phytonutrients
· Eat low glycaemic index foods to keep your blood sugars stable and your energy levels stable. Try oats for breakfast, wholemeal bread and a yoghurt for lunch and include foods like lentils, pulses and beans in your evening meal
· Craving the sweet stuff? Make some healthier flapjacks, a handful of dried fruit and nuts, or yoghurt with a grating of dark chocolate
· If you have lots of Christmas chocolates left over think about giving them away - take them to work, try your local homeless shelter, friends etc...eating them will not help you lose weight!
