3 easy ways to kick-start weight loss

Before you leap into a modified version of a cleanse, make sure you’re set for success

1 BE PREPARED

Get organised so the healthy option becomes the easy one! Plan your meals for the week, make time to shop and fill your kitchen with

healthy foods.

2 BE MINDFUL

Think about every bite that goes into your mouth. “Don’t eat while doing other activities like watching TV, working on your computer or driving,” says Dr Marsh. “There’s evidence that eating

while distracted won’t satisfy your appetite and you’ll eat more.” Plate meals and eat at the table; it’s a habit that’ll help with weight management.

3 COMMIT

We’re not just talking about a few days. “If you go back to the same diet as before, your blood glucose levels will rise again and you’ll likely regain any weight you lost,” Dr Marsh says. “It’s important to maintain a healthy eating plan for long-term success.”
