Tips to ensure you get your 2 litres of water each day

26th January 2020By Lynda Leadbetter

WATER IS NATURE’S APPETITE SUPPRESSANT When the stomach senses that it is full, it sends signals to the brain to stop eating. Water can help to take up space in the stomach, leading to a feeling of fullness and reducing hunger When your body is not getting enough water it holds on to what it has, resulting in water retention. As a simple survival mechanism your body has a tendency to hold onto and store what it doesn’t think it will get in the future. Once your body recognises that it is getting a steady supply of water it will release the water weight it has been holding. Water weight is stored…

Tackling Your Diet Saboteurs

19th January 2020By Lynda Leadbetter

Diet Saboteurs As if dieting isn’t hard enough without having to deal with saboteurs. They can make you feel deflated. Sadly many diet saboteurs are the people closest to us, like our friends, family and colleagues. Confronting them may be able to turn them into supporters instead. One wont hurt – If you have one! But often one can lead to coming off plan! You don’t need to lose anymore – You know your target and remember WHY you started to lose weight and what your ultimate target was. Explain this to your friends and ask for their support until you reach it. Have one day off! –…

INCREASING YOUR ACTIVITY

12th January 2020By Lynda Leadbetter

INCREASING YOUR ACTIVITY/EXERCISE Losing weight If your goal is to lose weight, then you should be aiming to do a bit more than you usually do to help burn some extra calories – the more the better, within reason. But there’s no perfect amount that will help you lose weight, it’s just any activity you can do to burn more calories will help. But when it comes to weight loss, diet is this biggest factor, so getting the right level of calories for weight loss is important. As they say, it takes 30 seconds to eat a cream cake, but about 20 minutes to run it off! Progression…

Tackling your weight loss & rewarding yourself

5th January 2020By Lynda Leadbetter

Rewarding your success on your weight loss journey You could reward yourself each time you achieve a mini-goal, which can be anything you want. Why not draw up a list of mini-goals and plan a treat for each time you achieve one. NON-EDIBLE REWARDS When setting your weight loss goals you need to be realistic. Set mini goals. If you are setting huge goals with no checkpoints in between you are likely to get lost or distracted along the way. Begin by setting small goals and re-evaluating your goals each time you reach your mini goal. This will help you build more positivity along your weight loss journey…

Christmas Food Swaps

15th December 2019By Lynda Leadbetter

Christmas Food Swaps A few nifty swaps here and there can save hundreds of calories over the day (and people will barely notice!) Here’s our top 10, saving nearly 1,000 calories if you take them all on board – the same as 24 pigs in blankets! At the end of the day It’s important to remember that Christmas is just one day.

Week 49 – Staying Focused During the Party Season

8th December 2019By Lynda Leadbetter

Staying focused during the party season December as a whole is filled with meals out, parties, open chocolate tins at work, more alcohol than we’re used to – and that’s all before the actual day itself!! It’s easy to see how the average person gains around 6lb over the festive season, making January even more blue than it needs to be. Save calories and still have fun! When going to parties the trick is to turn up not starving, but eat well before you go. Choose something light and healthy but filling such as poached eggs on toast before you go you’ll find it ten times easier to…
