5 Top Tips for Losing Weight

Last week I talked about the importance of maintaining a healthy weight in order to reduce the risk of developing certain diseases such as diabetes type 2, heart disease and some cancers.

This week I'll be sharing my 5 top tips to losing weight and keeping it off.

The key is to make long term lifestyle choices that you can use for the rest of your life instead of using shortcuts that will only cause weight gain in the long run:-

1.) Eat a healthy meal or snack every 3-4 hours- reasons for this is to help boost your metabolism in order to burn more calories and encourage our bodies to become a calorie burning machine rather then a fat storing one.  Try a Herbalife protein bar for a snack or a well balanced meal containing protein, carbohydrates and vitamins and minerals, if it's a main meal.

2.) Choose high protein and fibre rich foods- If you eat protein rich foods such as chicken, turkey, fish, lean meat, eggs and pulses alongside high fibre complex carbohydrates, such as wholemeal bread, pasta and rice, you will keep your energy levels up and keep you fuller for longer.

3.) Ensure you have breakfast- Consuming breakfast will wake your body up and keep your metabolism sped up.  If you skip breakfast you will find your energy levels depleting by mid morning and your body will crave sugar and you'll end up grabbing a chocolate bar or some other sugary snack.  You will also end up over consuming later on in the day at lunch time as you will be extra hungry.  Studies have shown that those who skip breakfast are more likely to be over weight compared with those who don't.  Try a Herbalife Formula 1 protein shake for breakfast for a well balanced and quick nutritious rich breakfast.





4.) Drink plenty of water- Aim to drink 2-3 litres of water a day that's about 6-8 glasses.  Drinking water will help the body to keep hydrated reducing the risk of tiredness, constipation, headaches and weight gain.  If you don't like water try Herbalife's aloe concentrate drink in original or mango flavour just add to water to give it a totally refreshing and citrus twist.

5.) Eat your 5 a day- aim to eat 5 pieces of fruit and vegetables a day to give your body vital nutrients it needs to function properly.  Also because they are low in calories but high in fibre and water they will keep you fuller for longer and help maintain energy levels.

Follow these tips and this will help you to lose weight.
