4 Things to support weight loss
Losing weight can help towards improving your health, give you more energy and help you feel better about yourself. We recognise that this is not always easy and many things can affect your progress. Below are 4 practical ways to support weight loss:
1. Rethink your eating
When you think about losing weight, one of the first things you may think about is changing what you eat. If you would like advice on how to adjust your eating habits, please ask to speak to one of our team.
2. Rethink your drinking
Find out how alcohol can add extra calories, how to get enough fluid each day to stay hydrated, and which drinks are healthier choices.
3. Change how much you move
Moving more can help you keep the weight off. Getting more active brings many other health benefits too. Even 10 minutes a day can make a difference.
4. Relect on your sleep habits
Not getting enough sleep can make it harder to lose weight. Poor sleep can affect your mood and behaviour, it can also make you:
- More likely to choose high calorie foods
- Too tired to exercise or cook healthy meals
