Get off to the best possible start on the NHS weight loss plan with these 12
diet and exercise tips.
1. Do not skip breakfast
Skipping breakfast will not help you lose weight. You could miss out on
essential nutrients and you may end up snacking more throughout the day
because you feel hungry.
Check out healthy breakfast recipes
2. Eat regular meals
Eating at regular times during the day helps burn calories at a faster rate. It
also reduces the temptation to snack on foods high in fat and sugar.
Find out more about eating heathily
3. Eat plenty of fruit and veg
Fruit and veg are low in calories and fat, and high in fibre – 3 essential
ingredients for successful weight loss. They also contain plenty of vitamins
and minerals.
Read up on getting your 5 A Day
4. Get more active
Being active is key to losing weight and keeping it off. As well as providing
lots of health benefits, exercise can help burn off the excess calories you
cannot lose through diet alone.
Find an activity you enjoy and are able to fit into your routine.
5. Drink plenty of water
People sometimes confuse thirst with hunger. You can end up consuming
extra calories when a glass of water is really what you need.
Read more about drinking water as part of a heathly diet
6. Eat high fibre foods
Foods containing lots of fibre can help keep you feeling full, which is perfect
for losing weight. Fibre is only found in food from plants, such as fruit and
veg, oats, wholegrain bread, brown rice and pasta, and beans, peas and
lentils.
7. Read food labels
Knowing how to read food labels can help you choose healthier options. Use
the calorie information to work out how a particular food fits into your daily
calorie allowance on the weight loss plan.
Find out more about reading food labels
8. Use a smaller plate
Using smaller plates can help you eat smaller portions. By using smaller plates
and bowls, you may be able to gradually get used to eating smaller portions
without going hungry. It takes about 20 minutes for the stomach to tell the
brain it's full, so eat slowly and stop eating before you feel full.
9. Do not ban foods
Do not ban any foods from your weight loss plan, especially the ones you
like. Banning foods will only make you crave them more. There's no reason
you cannot enjoy the occasional treat as long as you stay within your daily
calorie allowance.
10. Do not stock junk food
To avoid temptation, do not stock junk food – such as chocolate, biscuits,
crisps and sweet fizzy drinks – at home. Instead, opt for healthy snacks, such
as fruit, unsalted rice cakes, oat cakes, unsalted or unsweetened popcorn,
and fruit juice.
11. Cut down on alcohol
A standard glass of wine can contain as many calories as a piece of chocolate.
Over time, drinking too much can easily contribute to weight gain.
Find out more about the calories in alcohol
12. Plan your meals
Try to plan your breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for the week, making
sure you stick to your calorie allowance. You may find it helpful to make a
weekly shopping list.
