Remember weight loss is only one way of assessing your success, the way you feel and how your clothes fit is also a great way to see results

The best way to burn more energy is exercise! at least 30 minutes per day

Energy in has to be less than energy output inorder for you to lose weight

Fat and sugar are high in energy per gram therefore supply high amounts of high compared to protein and complex carbohydrates

Eat at least 5 small meals per day

Do not starve the body of food or it will go into survival mode and slow down your metabolism, resulting in less weight loss

Choose low fat dairy options like trim milk and edam cheese

Do not eat in front of the TV or whilst standing in the kitchen, always sit down to eat your food

Have a glass of water with lemon prior to your meal to aid with digestion

Do not have high calcium foods with meat as it will block the iron absorption, instead have some vitamin C with the meal to enhance the absorption

Serve food on a smaller plate and give yourself smaller portions of food

Use correction portion sizes, protein the size and thickness of you palm

If you are good and stick to your eating plan for 80% of the time, you are allowed one treat per week

If you slip up on your eating plan and have a few naughty foods, do not think of the day as being a total failure, but move on, and continue to eat healthily for the rest of the day

Remember what you are achieving is a healthy lifestyle and healthy eating plan, this is not a restrictive diet that only lasts a few weeks

Reward yourself when you achieve your short ter goals, either with a weekend away, a facial or that new top you fancy!

Tell all your friends and family that you are now following a healthy eating plan and ask them to support you with this

Watch out for people attempting to sabtage your diet and lead you astray
