You do not have to do everything at once, try one thing at a time and find what works for you
✅✅ DO
👉 get active for 150 minutes a week – you can break this up into shorter sessions
👉 aim to get your 5 A Day – 80g of fresh, canned or frozen fruit or vegetables count as 1 portion
👉 read food labels – products with more green colour coding than amber and red are often a healthier option
👉 share your weight loss plan with someone you trust – they can help motivate you when you have a bad day
👉 swap sugary drinks for water – if you do not like the taste, add slices of lemon or lime for flavour
✅✅ Don't
👉 do not stock unhealthy food – popcorn, fruit and rice cakes can be healthier alternatives
👉 do not finish your plate if you're full – you can save leftover food for the next day
