Losing weight for the sake of looking good is not good enough, managing one’s weight should also be about healthy living. With this in mind, you will then choose to manage your weight without endangering your body. As you probably already know, not managing your weight can lead to health problems including Type 2 Diabetes and osteoarthritis to name just a few

I remember when I wanted to lose weight so bad that I was starving myself. Yes I did lose the weight but I was tired and run down and had no energy to get through the day. Needless to say, because I was tired and hungry, I gained all that weight back when I started eating again. So the lesson here is don’t compromise your body just to lose weight, lose weight because you are eating healthily are taking care of your body. It’s the only way to achieve long term weight loss

Because our lives are constantly on the move, it can be difficult to control our eating habits and it can make it easy to reach for unhealthy snacks. It is important to keep an eye on what you are nibbling on throughout the day, the kilojoules do add up with all those other things that you nibbled on during the day that you thought were small.

Try to make the best food choices you can make, especially when you are on the go. For example : choose a whole-wheat sandwich with a salad and replace that fizzy drink with water instead of having a burger, chips and a fizzy drink. Having the burger is putting in approximately 5,900 kJ in your body as opposed to approximately 1,750 kJ had you opted for the whole-wheat sandwich.

Another important factor to remember is to substitute your snacks for fruit. For an example, opting to eat an apple instead of eating a packet of chips is a healthy alternative. The apple only has approximately 340kJ as compared to the packet of chips that has 805kJ.

This may seem trivial at first but as you become aware of the food choices you make, it not only becomes easier, it becomes a part of your lifestyle. Your body reaps all the benefits and when it does you will start to feel great. One last thing, limit your snacks to no more than 3 times a day
