Action 1 – Preparation

Prepare yourself and get your body physically and mentally ready to shred the stones and maintain a long-term weight loss strategy. Start by booking a health MOT – If you have any ongoing health problems, such as diabetes or heart condition it is important to speak to your doctor and ask for advise on how much exercise you can do. Even if you think you are healthy, but you have a large amount of weight to lose and are not used to practice exercise it is best to get a check up with your doctor before you embark on a vigorous exercise regime.

Start the day with a good breakfast

Remember that breakfast is the most important meal of the day as it kick-starts the body’s metabolism after a long night rest. If you skip breakfast you will feel hungry earlier during the day a take the risk of giving in to temptation. So keep the good habit of always eating breakfast.

Think about the final results

Making small changes to your lifestyle can bring important benefits for your health and wellbeing. Just by losing 10% of your body weight you can lessen the risk of developing heart disease and diabetes.

Know what to eat and how much to eat

The basic rule is that in order to lose weight you need to eat fewer calories and exercise more, in this way your body starts to use its fat reserves, and you start to loose weight. Keep a balanced diet that includes fruit and vegetables, protein and carbohydrates.

Get help from family and friends

Tell your friends and family about your plans to lose weight and ask for their support and encouragement. It is easier to keep motivated when you can share your experience with someone else.

Be realistic

Your body will undergo lots of changes during the process of losing weight. So, don’t be too hard on yourself by expecting to see lots of weight loss straight away. It can take a little time for the body to adjust to the changes in your exercise routine and eating habits. Set small weight loss targets of 1-2lbs (0.5-1kg) a week.

Take the healthier choice

It can be hard to resist temptation if they are all around you. So start by getting rid of all the unhealthy food in your house, including high fat and sugar snacks like crisps, chocolates, cake and biscuits and replace them with healthy snacks.
