Take some time to study and compare the labelling on various foods before you compile your new regular, healthy shopping list and then make sure you stick to it. Don’t be tempted by all the usual chocolate, cakes and fatty foods as you browse the store. If you refrain from buying quite so much high fat, high calorie foods when you go shopping, they can’t sit in the cupboard at home waiting to tempt you. And never go shopping for food at times when you feel hungry; leave this until after you’ve eaten a meal.

Recipes for Preparing Your Own Meals

Many people, including myself, have favourite recipes that they like to use over and over again. These may be your tried and tested dishes, but you will now need to think about swapping them for healthier alternatives. I found it useful to look for a new, healthy recipe on the internet or in a book each week, and now that I’ve reached my target weight, I have a nice collection of new healthy meal ideas which has helped me keep my weight down.

Drinks

It’s best to just drink water as much as possible, but if you do like some flavour, make sure all fizzy drinks are of the calorie free variety (I personally prefer things like Diet Coke to the sugar-loaded equivalent) and also use calorie-free artificial sweetener in your tea and coffee. You may not like these substitutes very much to begin with, but it’s surprising how quickly they become an acquired taste with regular consumption.

Exercise

Let’s face it, most people have better things to do than go for a trot around the block, puffing and panting, turning a funny pink colour! But if you’re serious about losing weight and toning your body a little, then you will need to undertake some form physical activity. If your weight problem is serious, or stems from some other underlying medical condition, then you must consult a doctor before beginning any kind of exercise program.

As a general rule though, the best advice is to aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise for 5 days of the week. This can be dancing, jogging, swimming, badminton, tennis, or even just brisk walking. I like to go swimming, because this gives me a good all round workout and is particularly effective at reducing arm flab. See if you can get any of your friends to join you, as this helps to keep it interesting and keep you committed. Another tip is to make a point of making short, local journeys on foot instead of taking the car – just enjoy the fresh air for a change and think of the fuel you’re saving!
