This week, as part of Beach Body Beautiful, we have the PURE Spa Ocean Terminal team giving us their top tips for losing weight – and keeping it away! It’s all about making a long-term decision to change your eating & lifestyle habits for the better.
1. Fill up with fibre as this will help you feel fuller for longer and can help reduce cholesterol! Foods with fibre include: apricots, jacket potatoes, baked beans & brown pasta
2. Watch your portion sizes – use smaller plates and bowls.
3. Build activity into your day. Walk more, take the stairs, ditch the car!
4. Try non-food rewards to celebrate weight loss – bubble bath, new music, new clothes or a massage like our Spa Relaxing Massage.. mm!
5. To avoid temptation, try planning your snacks for each day of the week. If you work, then take a day’s portion along with you. Try swapping crisps for pretzels; chocolate for dates; sweets for raisins or fried chips for oven chips.
6. Be careful of liquid calories:- per 250ml serving:
Cola – 105cal
Cappuccino – 110cal
Mocha – 193cal
Smoothie – 140cal
OJ – 122cal
Energy drink – 113cal
As you’ll see, even just a little food swap like switching up your crisps for pretzels will help! After all, excess snacking is one of the biggest dangers to your weight loss journey..
