Effective
weight loss diet advice and tips from UK fitness guru Emma Brittain

Find a diet that's easy to stick to and enables you to
lose weight healthily
Make 2012 the year that you find an eating plan that will let you discover,
and most importantly, maintain the new slim you.
Many diets fail because they only offer a short plan weight-loss programme,
with limited eating habits that can't be successfully maintained.
Once you have discovered a healthy way to eat for life, you will feel
so good and so energised that you won't be tempted
to return to old habits. With the right diet plan you won't even feel
hungry.

Be more confident
If you analyse it then just having a flat stomach isn't going to dramatically
change your life, but it can help give you more confidence and let
you feel more in control - enough perhaps to go for that new job,
ditch the bad relationship or merely just wear that sexy pencil skirt
or skinny jeans you once pictured yourself in. If you want something
badly enough you will do it!
Stop letting imperfections prevent you living every day to the
full and enjoying it. If you are determined to change your body
you need to look at your lifestyle.
Consider ways to make it easier for you to reach your goal - chuck
out the temptations in your cupboards, fill your fridge with delicious
easy to snack healthy treats (luscious berries rather than boring
old carrot sticks!)
Learn to love the beautiful body and skin you are in.
We can help you start and maintain your new eating and exercise
plan with lots of hints and help to support you. Believe you can
do it - we know you can.
If you want to make sure you keep to your weight loss plan this
year - don't set your targets too high. Remember:
The reason most diets and weight loss plans fail is because they
are unsustainable.
So it's important that you don't aim to do too much, too soon -
take some time to find out which diet will suit you best and don't
set yourself up with a diet and exercise regime that you won't be
able (or want) to keep up.

Enjoy fruit in your Diet
Fresh fruit is really good for you and the good news
is that most of it is relatively low in calories. When you are dieting,
you can fill up on fruit to help stave off hunger pangs. Find out
how much fruit you can eat in your calorie-controlled diet with
our fruit calorie chart.

How to lose weight successfully and keep it off
As
the saying goes, moderation in all things - the reason most diets and
weight loss plans fail is because they are unsustainable. You might start
off with the best of intentions - a new gym membership and an 800 calorie
a day intake - but if you set yourself too high a target you'll never
reach it and end up disheartened and reaching for the chocs.
It's much better to set a realistic target and accept that 2 hours every
day in the gym is fine if you're a Hollywood star or top model, but it
doesn't fit in with the lifestyles that most of us have. It's much better
to increase your level of exercise gradually to a level that doesn't disrupt
your life too much.
Likewise with your diet - too great a drop in your calorific intake leaves
you hungry and prone to snacking or bingeing. Your metabolism will slow
down and the body will try and store fat if you cut down your intake too
much.
It's always tempting to go for a quick fix, but a crash diet is hard
to stick to in the short-term and can adversely affect your health. Take
it easy and lose weight steadily, that way it is much more likely it will
stay off!
Don't be too downhearted if you've faltered and reached for the biscuits
or chocolate. The important thing is not that that you failed once or
twice, but that you don't give up. Everyone has the odd lapse, just accept
that it happens and carry on with your diet. Use your diet slip to learn
about your eating habits and make sure you cover it with remedies, such
as, readily available healthy snacks or non-food treats. It will be worth
it when you achieve your target weight!
Obesity epidemic
One in five adults
in Britain are obese.
We eat more, exercise less and have ready access to fast appealing food
all hours. We are more busy in our sedentary lifestyle, seem to have less
time available and crave relaxation not food preparation!
After the stress of a long day in front of the computer, most of us tend
to relax in front of the tv. It's hard to find the time and energy to
fit exercise and healthy eating into our busy schedules, but it is becoming
obvious with recent health figures that it is vital for our health.

Choosing the right diet
Are you the type
of person who wants a prescriptive diet - one that tells you exactly what
and how much to eat at each meal?
Then you may find Calorie Counting the ideal choice -
with your comprehensive list of how many calories are contained within
each food, you can happily weigh and work out exactly what you can eat
daily and steadily lose weight. The best way to be successful at this
is to keep a food diary of everything you eat. WeightWatchers
uses an easy point system, which simplifies calorie counting
but works on the same principle.
A popular choice for those good at organising their meals down to the
percentage of carbohydrate, fat and protein - specifically at a ratio
of 40-30-30 - is the Zone diet. The diet plan is very
specific and depends on your gender, activity level, and current percentage
of body fat. If you don't like the idea of giving up your favourite foods
for good, the Alternate day diet might suit, as you can
still have your cake and eat it!
If you prefer to avoid calorie counting and concentrate on eating specific
foods, then the low-carbohydrate Atkins diet, South
Beach or GI diet may suit you. The popular Atkins
diet is really four diet plans in one - The Induction, Ongoing
Weight Loss, Pre-Maintenance and finally Maintenance
stage. Carbohydrate foods are reduced and replaced with fat and protein
- bacon and egg for breakfast as opposed to cereals. The diet states this
will change your metabolism and enable you to lose weight easily.
Many supermarkets are now marking their food with carbo content and GI
high or low scores, due to the popularity of these diets.
Exercise for
life
Lack of exercise is responsible for 2 million deaths worldwide every
year. Health experts recommend at least half an hour of moderate exercise
five days a week to reach a satisfactory fitness level.
Exercise increases your metabolic rate and burns calories. The good news
is that you will also be strengthening your immune system and building
toning muscle. The extra weight of muscle will help you burn more calories
and help you towards your goal of fast weight loss.

Exercise
tip
When you reach a
point in your exercise where you feel you can't do another step - running,
jogging, or walking - chant inwardly to yourself 'lovely legs'
over and over, like a mantra and focus in your mind on a picture of your
lovely, toned and cellulite-free new pins!
It really helps when you're toiling up a steep hill, or are on the step
machine.
