1. Develop new habits

What you do on a daily basis becomes your reality. Try to develop and stick to healthy habits for at least 3 weeks (it takes 21 days to effectively develop a new habit). Whether it’s starting a day with a breakfast or drinking two litres of water each day. Habits and routines will take you through tougher times when your strong will needs a little support.

2. Stick to a 3-meal-2-snack-plan

Try not to go more than 3 hours without having anything to eat. That way you won’t allow your sugar levels to drop abruptly, perhaps causing ravenous hunger. 3 meals and 2 snacks at consistent times is a simple yet reliable way to go.

3. Find ways to exercise

You really don’t have to spend 2 hours at the gym each day. Just alter some of your habits and see the big change in the way you look and feel. It can be as easy as going on foot instead of driving. How about taking a lunch to go and having a walk around the neighborhood instead of sitting in the cafeteria?

4. Cook at home

Ready-made meals and fast-food restaurants meals are often high in salt, sugar and saturated fats. When you cook yourself, you know exactly of what goes into your food and you take full control of what you put in your body.

5. Clean out your pantry

Get rid of all sweets and salty goods lying around your kitchen cupboards and fill them out with healthy options instead. Having dried fruit, nuts and other healthy snacks handy will make all the difference in the way you snack in between the meals.
