Tuesday 23rd March 2010Tips for Maximum Weight Loss
Commit to focusing on your weight loss efforts for three weeks: This initial period is crucial, as your body re-learns healthy eating habits and a new exercise regime becomes the norm. Write down your weight loss goals, plan your meals and plan your workouts. If you stick to your new diet plan for three weeks you will see results - and this will spur you on further to reach your goals. 
 
Learn to say 'no'! 'No' to that cream cake, second helping, take away, or glass of wine or beer. Women in particular are pleasers, and sometimes it is easier to say 'yes' to a second helping of your Mum's Sunday dinner or the cream cakes a work colleague brings in to celebrate a birthday than to refuse and risk upsetting loved ones. Before starting your diet plan and new exercise regime why not enlist the support of your nearest and dearest? Tell them how much shedding those extra pounds mean to you and that you need them to help you, not sabotage your diet!
 
Eat breakfast: Breakfast has been proven to kick-start your metabolism, and should prevent mid-morning munchies. Choose wholegrain toast with low-fat spread, porridge, low-fat greek yoghurt with fresh fruit, or an egg white omelette. 
 
Snack wisely: Keep nuts, seeds, dried fruit and rice cakes in your desk drawer, a (small) handful of these will stop you reaching for chocolate, biscuits and crisps.
 
Ban the booze: Alcohol contains empty calories - a large glass of wine could cost you up to 180 calories, and could have you reaching for fatty snacks at the end of an evening. An occasional dry white wine or vodka with slimline tonic is the best option, but avoid eating salty snacks with your drink as these tend to be high in calories and make you thirsty, so you're more likely to reach for a second glass. 
 
Vary your exercise: Hitting the gym four times a week is soon going to get boring. Add interest to your exercise routine by joining a class with a friend (you can motivate each other) such as kickboxing, ashtanga yoga or Pilates, or try swimming, squash, tennis and power walking. Gym bunnies should see a trainer - most gyms offer a complimentary induction session - who can help you plan a more varied workout. 
 
Give your diet a boost with Pure Hoodia Gordonii - a herb used by a tribe in the Kalahari desert to surpress appetite when food is in short supply. Hoodia Gordonii has no known side effects, and contains a molecule that fools your brain into thinking it is full.
