1) Set yourself achievable goals – Before you begin the start of your exercise regime, sit down and set yourself 3 or 4 realistic goals, which are not impossible to stick to. For example do targets like “lose 1 pound a week” and “go for a jog 3 times a week”. Avoid setting yourself extremely hard targets because if they are not achieved it will lower your self-esteem and will only frustrate you.

2) Preparation – You need to prepare for your new healthy life style this means getting rid of all the junk food and drinks. When the old stuff is out, replace it with the new healthy fresh food, and lots of water and vegetables. You don’t just need to prepare your fridge either, make sure you have suitable exercising shoes and clothes so you are comfortable and don’t get blisters and other problems which can stop you from exercising.

3) Create a reward system – Every time you achieve one of your goals give yourself a reward, get yourself that CD or DVD you’ve wanted for ages or even a new item of clothing, something to show that you are achieving your targets.

4) Pedometer – A pedometer is the little device you attach to your body and it counts how many steps you have taken in that day. If you wear this everyday and aim for the 10,000 or over mark it will significantly help to lose weight. You burn approximately 100 to 125 calories from 2,500 steps (This is roughly 1 mile). The aim is to burn an extra three hundred calories and eat roughly two hundred calories less in your diet, this way you will be burning at least a pound a week.

5) Breakfast – We’ve all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day from all this nutrition experts but that is because it’s true. Skipping breakfast causes you to snack and doesn’t give your brain and body that needed energy in the morning and ultimately helps to lower your metabolism. For breakfast have things like weatabix or fruit.

6) NO MORE midnight snacks – Try not to eat at least 3 hours before you go to bed, this is because it helps to increase your metabolism and if you eat a lot you’ll be carrying those extra calories in the morning.

7) Stay off processed sugars – These are usually identified because they are “white”, it includes things such as table sugar, rice, bread and pasta. It is wise to stay off these because they don’t actually satisfy your appetite and just make you want more of the same.

Vitamins – If you don’t get the RDA of vitamins in your diet then it would be wise to start taking multi-vitamin tablets. They are vital for you body’s health and can lower the risk of so many diseases and cancers.

9) Sleep – It is advised to get about 7-8 hours sleep a night, the energy will be much better and is also goof for health benefits as it lowers the risk of diabetes as well as many other possible diseases.

10) DRINK LOTS OF WATER! – Water is vital to staying healthy; try to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. Drinking lots of water can help to increase you metabolism and this is what helps you lose that weight.
