DIETING AND WEIGHTLOSS

Stay Positive

Establishing new habits is tough work.

Be gentle with yourself

and if you slip, don't get upset. No negative self-talk! Instead, tell yourself you're going to do better from now on, and move forward. Be sure to reward and acknowledge your successes. Use nonfood rewards that you enjoy.

Health Tip: Drink more water

Water is a key ingredient in keeping your body's internal systems in balance. Dehydration over a long period can have immediate and long lasting effects including: tiredness, constipation, and poor skin quality. While advice differs as to how much water we should actually drink, most people should be consuming no less than 2 litres each and every day!

Quick Tips for Weight Loss

*BE concerned with the fat levels and sugar levels of foods. Some foods that display 'low fat' on their packaging tend to be high in sugar, which can be just as bad for someone trying to lose weight.

*CONSIDER portion size. Many people are now eating low fat diets but they are eating larger portions. You need to get the balance right between calories consumed and calories burnt.

*DON'T do the shopping when you are hungry. You will be more inclined to by the high sugar and high fat snacks. Write down your shopping list before you get to the shops and don't buy anything that is not on that list.

*KEEP an accurate diary of food and exercise. This will help to expose weaknesses. You can then design strategies to overcome them.

*ONLY eat at the dinner table. Never whilst watching TV or reading.

*CHEW slowly as this will give the body time to fully digest the food and you will feel 'full' with less food. Plan in advance for social events. If you are going to a restaurant, get them to fax the menu through earlier in the day so you are not deciding on impulse.

*IF you must snack only eat low fat and high fibre foods.
