When we consume more calories than our body needs, we store the excess as fat. e two fat types we want to reduce in order to lose weight and improve heart health are subcutaneous fat (the fat under the skin) and visceral fat (the fat around our waist and abdominal organs). While it is a good idea to weigh yourself to track progress, we encourage you to focus on the lifestyle and health behaviours you can adopt, rather than obsessing over the numbers on the scales. Below we outline three such behaviours that promote weight loss that you can start doing straight away. Move more Taking part in physical activity makes our body use more calories; the more we move, the more calories our body uses. To lose weight, we need a calorie de cit, meaning we consume fewer calories than our body uses, this promotes weight loss and it’s why exercise is an important factor for losing weight. For ideas on how to increase your activity levels, read the Healthy Tip on sustainable daily movement. Eat protein Protein is the most satiating At some point in life, we are all guilty of a little overindulgence. Once the packet of biscuits or bag of crisps is open, it’s hard to say No! Some people raid the fridge, picking and grazing on food even though they are not hungry, but nd the habit comforting. Children quickly associate certain foods with rewards for being good, and the habit remains part of their adult life. 12 million people in Britain use comfort eating to help deal with personal issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, or depression. Letting go of a habit that only gives temporary pleasure, o en followed by guilt as you gain weight, can be challenging to achieve alone. Hypnotherapy can help change your attitude toward food, resolving the root cause, so that you can break free of the habit.

Make sure you include a protein source at every meal. Healthy low-fat options include white sh, skinless chicken and turkey, beans, lentils, eggs, tofu and low-fat dairy products (milk, cheese, yoghurt). Adults should aim to consume at least 0.75g of protein per kg of bodyweight per day, on average this is 56g of protein for men and 45g for women, but check your body weight to work out your recommended intake. Avoid UPF’s UPF’s or ultra-processed foods are food products that usually contain long lists of ingredients and couldn’t be made at home in your own kitchen. Examples include carbonated so drinks, prepackaged snacks, cakes, biscuits, and instant soups/noodles. While eating these foods occasionally isn’t necessarily a problem, many of these types of foods are speci cally manufactured to make you want to eat more of them. e calories per portion may be low, but you may nd yourself more likely to overeat these foods in comparison to homecooked alternatives. Try cooking meals and snacks from scratch at home as much as possible.
