10 WEIGHT LOSS TIPS

• Tip 1: Eat a piece of fruit before lunch or dinner.This will help you eat a little less and counts as 1 of your 5 a day.

• Tip 3: If you take a bus to work,get off one stop early and walk the rest of the way.
• Tip 4: Never fill your stomach when you eat;always leave some room. You will stop feeling hungry long before you feel full. 'Filling' your stomach means you are eating too much.
• Tip 5: Eating out this weekend? Eat a small,healthy snack a couple of hours before your meal to make sure you are not tempted to eat everything in sight.
• Tip 6: Find a friend. Getting support is a huge part of successfully losing weight. A weight loss buddy will help you stay motivated and give you company along the way.

• Tip 8: Choose low fat alternatives of dairy products wherever possible or use smaller amounts of strong tasting cheeses.
• Tip 9: Snack on fruit and vegetables between meals. They are naturally low fat and may distract you from snacking on higher fat foods.
