1st, work out your daily required calorie intake
So lets get started on your path to succesful weight loss and a healthier, slimmer you.
The aim of the diet is to basically work out your main meal portions as follows.....
Breakfast
This is the very best meal to have your bulk of carbs for 2 reasons...
- you have ALL day to burn the carbs off
- complex carbs will keep you sattisfied until Lunch time.
The best Choices for breakfasts are as follows.....
(The amount should total the size of your clenched fist)
- Porridge Oats- Good for you, full of vitamins and Tasty.
- Wholegrain Cereals such as Branflakes or shredded wheat.
- Probiotic yoghurt with a tsp of natural honey and sliced bannana and raisins.
- Home made smoothie with crushed ice, probiotic yoghurt and a selection of 3 fruits.
Its best to AVOID using sugar, if you must sweeten your food try using natural Honey, also it is the perfect alternative and a yummy way to add flavour and sweetness to your morning coffee.
Try to have a glass of water with your breakfast (after is best), and coffee is now believed to help speed up the metabolism, black coffee is believed to cause brittle bones in woman, but the easy solution is to add a drop of semi-skimmed milk to it.
Snack
The mid morning snack will stop you over indulging at lunch time, plus it keeps your metabolism fired up, heres a few ideas for your mid morning snack. (choose one only)

If you cant go without fizzyness, move over to diet soda's such as Coke Zero, Pepsi max, Naturally flavoured sparkling waters (found in Tesco's at 38p per litre bottle) 0 carbs, 0 cals, taste great.
Take a daily vitamin supplement to boost your intake, The more expensive brands do exactly the same as many stores own lable brands, so we recommend choosing the stores brands at all times, 1 because if you check the lables of the various supplements you will see they are nearly all exactly the same, and 2 because the savings can go in to a savings pot to get yourself a fab new outfit for the new slimmer, radiant and healthy you.
