Little Tips for Weight Loss (Its worked for me)

·         NO CASH - No Cash in my wallet for me this has helped I am not tempted to order take-away or go to the tuck shop.

Also the tuck shop person should know not to let you buy on credit either!

 

·         FLAVOURS UP YOUR WATER - Cut up limes, lemons, berries or oranges and freeze them in ice-trays – this adds a nice flavour to your water when you pop it in.

 

·         FROZEN FRUIT DESSERT -  Frozen fruit can also  double up as dessert in summer on skewers or smooties.

 

·         FREEZE YOGURT - We all buy those 6 pack of mini-yogurts, I never seem to finish mine so I pop the ones close to expiry date in the freezer.  Its perfect if you are tempted for ice cream to have yogurt in the freezer as alternative.

 

·         START A CLUB - I started a salad and weigh in club at work.  Its fun and making salad in turns keep you motivated in a team.  Weigh in club is a little harder, we have a weigh in once a week, if you gain weight you pay a fine (agreed by team) and the winner (most loss) after set time will win all the money.

 

·         EMAIL - I like to email out tips, that I have read in magazines or online, to a few friends and we see how it works.

 

·         DON’T FOLLOW FAD-DIETS -They are not personalized at all an will only hurt you in the long run!

 

·         YOU DON’T HAVE TO BUY NEW EQUIPMENT – I think allot people want to spend money on buying a excersice ball, weights, clothes etc.  You can use things around the house to save money and recycle.  (2l Milk Bottles can have water or sand added in to make weights – choose the ones with the handles for easy lifting.  Tins of food can be used as barbells. Skipping rope can be made with some ski or towing rope. Stairs / Chairs can be used for leg and arm exercises.  4 Towels placed on each other can replace buying a exercise mat.)

 

HOPE THESE TIPS CAN HELP YOU ON YOUR WAY TO A HEALTHIER & HAPPIER YOU!
