This is a time of year where people look for the quick fix, "secret" method to lose some of those excess pounds, well I am sorry to disapoint you, but there is no "secret", but don't despair you can still achieve amazing weight loss by following some simple rules - so here are a few tips and ideas to get you going:
The best way is to reduce your energy intake a little (calories) and increase your energy output a little. It is a more effective strategy to do both of these together, rather than attempt to cut your calorie intake in half or exercise to extremes.
Research shows that drastic dietary changes result in only temporary weight loss. For sustained weight loss, it is best to make small changes that you can continue with in the long term. I know this sounds boring, and does not deliver a “quick fix” but we all know it makes absolutely perfect sense and will give you guaranteed, lasting results.
A well balanced diet will include the following food groups – Carbohydrates, Protein and Fat. Below is a shopping list for each of these groups which may well help you make some of those little changes required for weight loss:
Carbohydrates
Wholegrain Pasta New Potatoes Porridge Oats
Rye Bread Sweet Potato Muesli
Beans Malt Loaf Noodles
Oatcakes Brown Rice Dried Apricots
Basmati Rice Dried Figs
Protein
Extra Lean Minced Beef Turkey or Chicken Breasts
Eggs Skimmed or Semi-skimmed Milk
Low-fat yoghurt Sunflower or Pumpkin seeds
Salmon Fillets Mackerel or Sardines tinned in Spring Water
Red Kidney beans Lentils
Fat
Olive Oil Avocado Rapeseed or soya oil
Oily fish Peanut butter Low fat dairy produce
Remember watch those portion sizes, a FIST of Protein, a FIST of Carbohydrates and the rest of the plate in Vegetables. Drink plenty of water, particularly before you eat, and exercise regularly.
