1. Eat a healthy, balanced diet. Eating a balanced diet of nutritious foods and cutting back on unhealthy, processed foods is an essential part of any weight-loss plan. Make sure to include plenty of fruits and vegetables, lean protein, and whole grain carbs.
2. Drink more water. Drinking more water throughout the day can help you feel fuller and can help you maintain energy levels throughout the day.
3. Exercise regularly. Exercise is one of the most important things you can do to ensure sustainable weight loss. Aim to do at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise a day, five days a week.
4. Get enough sleep. Research suggests that lack of sleep can affect our hormones and metabolism, which can lead to weight gain. Aim to get 7-8 hours of good quality sleep each night.
5. Mindful eating. Eat slowly and pay attention to your body’s signals to stop when you feel full. This can help you avoid overeating or snacking when you’re not actually hungry.
