Drink lots of water. Many people mistake thirst for hunger. Aim for at least two litres a day
Eat plenty of lean protein such as fish, chicken and turkey. These foods make you feel full without being high in fat, sugar and calories
If you’re a sweet tooth, choose dark chocolate. The high cocoa level will mean your craving will be satisfied quicker
Limit your alcohol intake. These ‘empty calories’ head straight for your waistline so try to cut back to only one unit a day (general guidelines state 2-3 units a day for women and 3-4 units for men)
Don’t skip breakfast. The most important meal of the day really is that important! To get your digestion, metabolism and whole body ready for the day have a healthy breakfast. Scrambled egg on wholemeal toast is a good option alongside your Capsiplex to get your metabolism revving.
Avoid late night snacks. The most dangerous time for diet sabotage is after dinner whilst watching TV. If you do get hungry have a healthy snack such as a banana
Eat slowly. Most of us eat out of habit without thinking and enjoying our food. Make an effort to have meals without any distraction so you really taste and savour your meal – you’re then less likely to snack later!
Get support. Tell your friends and family about your weight loss efforts and get them on board. If your family is supportive and/or eating healthily as well you are much more likely to succeed
Be active. Diet alone may not give you the results you’re after. Step up your activity levels, whether this involves walking the dog for longer, joining a spinning class or hiring a personal trainer
Set realistic goals. Don’t get disheartened if you don’t lose a stone in the first week! Aim for a steady, healthy weight loss of a few pounds a week and you’re more likely to stick to your plan for looking fabulous this summer!
