Time to Weigh In

When it comes to your weight loss journey there are some trends to avoid:

  • Cutting out one or more major food groups Replacing all food consumption with powders or supplements
  • Short term changes to eating behaviours rather than long-term sustainable changes.
  • Using unproven or unsafe equipment to aid in weight loss e.g., saunas, diuretics, and body wraps.
  • Rapid weight loss

A common diet is the very low-calorie method using meal replacements, bars, or soups. Make sure you consider:

  • You are still meeting all your nutritional requirements.
  • You have ongoing support to continue the program
  • Have access to advice for reintroducing solid foods to avoid any weight gain.

Other positive steps you can take on your weight loss journey is regular physical activity such as:

  • Walking
  • Dancing
  • Riding a bike
  • Swimming

Eating the recommended amount of protein is essential to losing weight and can help you:

  • Preserve your health and muscle mass while losing fat
  • Reduce your cravings and snacking between meals
  • The average male needs 56-91g per day and the average female needs 46-75g per day
