5 Tips to stay healthy on a weight loss journey

1. Hydration
​If you’re unmotivated by plain water, try fruit, herb, or spice-infused water. Fruit-infused waters are amazing in that they provide so many macro and micronutrients in a single portion and they taste delicious.

Watermelon, as per its name, contains 92% water. Cucumbers, tomatoes, watercress, apples, celery, lettuce, and peaches, all contain so much that you can swap it out for drinking water to keep things interesting.

2. Spice teas
​Turmeric, Lemon, and ginger bombs in freshly boiled water are great to enjoy as a craving replacement.

They are so much fun to meal prep — a simple chop, blend, pour, and freeze process. Best of all, they’re appetite-suppressing.

3. Snacks
​Snack on crispy homemade (preservative-free) crisps/chips to ward off the potato chips (salty) craving. It’ll convert you to healthy eating so quickly because it tricks your mind into forgetting about old cravings.

How about a healthy smoothie drink instead of one loaded with dairy milk and refined white sugar? The ones that make you fall off the ‘wagon’ of dieting.

4. Low GI foods
​Eat lots of foods with a low Glycaemic Index as these create the feeling of satiety and are excellent for blood sugar regulation. So you stave off the energy crash and the sugar/salt cravings that immediately follow.

These foods include and are not limited to high fibre foods like carrots, kale, red cabbage, and many more.

5. Eating Style
​Think about your daily eating style. Build your exercise regimen around the way you eat and what times of the day are your best times for fuelling up.

If you’re not a 5:30 am workout type, then that’s ok. Perhaps you’re someone that prefers a quiet wake-up call and an easy breakfast. This can prepare you for exercise later in the morning when you don’t have to worry about eating very early, or hurriedly and then have to carb-load immediately after exercise.

We’re all different and our attitudes toward staying fit and getting enough heart-healthy cardio have changed.

Listen to your body and your nutritional needs, then allow your weight loss journey to work around that.
