The key to a healthy weight is maintaining the correct energy balance.
You should be consuming the right amount of calories based on how much energy your body requires.
This is easier said than done.
Here's 9 tips that will make it easier๐

Here's 9 tips that will make it easier๐
1. Walk more.
You don't need to do any crazy bootcamps or HIIT workouts.
There's no such thing as a "fat loss workout".
ALL activity burns calories. If you burn enough to get into an energy deficit, you will lose fat.
Walking burns calories too - and is far easier to do.

2. Lift weights.
Lifting weights is an enjoyable form of activity that will motivate you as you see the changes in your body.
Whilst it does burn some calories, the real magic is the muscle it will help you build.
More muscle on your frame means you burn more calories at rest.

3. Eat mindfully.
Don't eat while distracted. Studies show that people consume more calories if they eat mindlessly while watching TV.
Eat slowly and pay attention to how you feel.
When you're full, stop.
You'll probably notice you don't need 25-50% of the food on your plate.

4. Eat more protein:
Protein is more filling AND it requires up to 30% more calories to digest compared to the other macronutrients.
You would burn 100-150 calories to digest 500 calories from protein compared to virtually zero digesting 500 calories from fat.

5. Drink more water.
People often mistake thirst for hunger.
Sometimes your hunger will go away after drinking a pint of water. This can help reduce snacking.
Water fills your stomach. Drink it cold to increase the number of calories you burn.

7. Eat fewer refined carbs.
These are carbs that have been more heavily processed. They are things like:
- White bread, pasta & rice
- Doughnuts
- Pastries
- Sweets
- Cakes
They cause blood sugar & insulin levels to rise & fall quickly.
This leads to getting hungry sooner.

8. Sleep 7 Hours Per Night
Sleep loss changes levels of the hormones grehlin and leptin which regulate appetite.
If you don't sleep well you will be more hungry and crave more high carb and high fat foods (junk).
Get at least 7 hours uninterrupted sleep.
