Here’s how you can lose weight quickly, safely and easily when the warmer weather arrives. Unfortunately though, many people scramble to try and lose the ’spare tire’ that they seem to have acquired over the winter months and resort to using incorrect approaches to getting the extra weight off.

It’s hard to take complete control over what you eat. There’s temptation everywhere and sometimes it’s hard to make the healthier choices.
I’ve been making a huge effort this week to watch what I eat, especially as I can’t do much exercise at the moment because of illness. I’ve not bought any treats to have with my lunch, I’ve swapped a chocolate or high sugar pudding with home made smoothies and fruit, I’m drinking more water, low sugar squash and green tea. When going to the store, I only buy what is on the list and I make sure there’s no sweets and treats written on there!

I work most of the week, and because the weather is getting colder, I have decided to take a soup to work every day to keep warm! I have chosen a soup with plenty of vegetables in it and made sure it’s not a “cream of” soup too as they have more fat and calories. I also have a couple of pieces of fruit and a low sugar snack bar for when I get a bit peckish.

When I get home, I’ve ditched the rice and potatoes and heavier foods and replaced them with things like broccoli and sweetcorn along with fresh salad to have with things like salmon, chicken and lean mince.

Now I know this all sounds a bit boring. I thought I would be bored out my mind eating like this, but it’s actually become very convenient and tasty! The soups don’t have to be “cream of” to be enjoyable…in fact I much prefer the ones that aren’t because they have more flavour. Seasoning is a key thing too. You don’t have to drown food in dressings, tons of salt, sauces and butter. Often, choosing just the right flavours in their moderation is so much nicer!

If you’re like me, and like sauces like kormas and bolognese, it doesn’t mean you can’t have them. I love korma and so I searched in store for a lower fat sauce and there were actually quite a lot to choose from! I think the toughest thing is getting out of the routine of buying the same old stuff and so in consequence you may be buying the sweets and treats and high fat foods that seem to become a normal part of your shopping list. When I looked at my past shopping lists, I re-evaluated them to see what we actually need, and what we can replace and what we don’t need at all. By doing so, not only is our kitchen full of healthier options, but we saved a lot of money too!

The best thing though? I’m seeing great results! I’m slimming down more this week than I have in months and it’s so encouraging when I can’t exercise as much! It really shows how what you eat and how much you’re eating really makes a huge difference, whether you’re exercising or not!
