Lose weight naturally: the golden rules!

Eat intelligently

The key to success? At the end of the day, it’s all about what’s on your plate. But we’re not suggesting you follow a restrictive and monotonous diet – though it might produce rapid weight loss, you’ll almost certainly put it back on again. On the contrary, eating intelligently is about getting pleasure from good food in healthy portions. It’s about prioritising foods with a low glycaemic index (whole grains, pulses, oilseeds, dairy products…) as they provide beneficial nutrients without tipping the scales; fruit and vegetables for their high content in fibre, antioxidants and vitamins; and lean meat and fish for their protein content which maintains lean muscle mass.

My weight loss action plan

  • Eat one piece of fruit + one large portion of vegetables + one source of grains (or wholemeal pasta or rice)/pulses + 100-120g meat at each meal.
  • Prioritise low GI foods.
  • Eat very little sugar and saturated fat (cakes, sweets, charcuterie, fried food …).
  • Serve my food on small dishes (a bowl or dessert plate) and don’t go back for more.

Put your faith in slimming plants and herbs

Plants as well as fruits and vegetables can be a godsend to slimming regimes because of their diuretic, draining, and appetite-suppressing effects. So when it comes to watching your figure, which are your very best friends? On the fruit and vegetable front, it is artichokes, chicory, apples and grapefruit, while the best plants are dandelion, rosemary, guarana and ash. By incorporating these fruits and vegetables into your eating plan and supplementing with these weight-busting herbs, you will slim down more easily and more durably.

My weight loss action plan

  • Make sure my menu regularly includes ‘slimming’ fruits and vegetables.
  • Drink tisanes or beverages containing ‘slimming’ plants or herbs.
  • Put my trust in ‘slimming’ solutions.

Take your time

Time is a key element in any weight loss plan. The more gradually we lose our excess kilos, the more likely it is they’ll stay off. This is a question of physiology; we know that when we lose weight too fast (by eating a very low calorie diet), we put it straight back on again. A good rate of weight loss is 2 kilos a month. It’s also important not to rush when eating a meal. It takes 20 minutes for sensors in the stomach to send satiety signals to the brain. If we eat too quickly, we risk eating more than we need.

My weight loss action plan

  • Weigh myself once a month, no more.
  • Set the table properly and enjoy my meal with no distractions (television, computer …).
  • Put my fork down between each mouthful and chew slowly.

Drink enough fluids

If you don’t drink enough fluids (between 1.5l and 2.5l a day depending on your activity levels) and if your diet does not contain enough fruit and vegetables, your body’s draining functions will not be activated.

My weight loss action plan

  • Always keep a bottle of water in my bag.
  • Routinely drink a large glass of water with every meal.
  • Eat fruits and vegetables with a high water content (cucumber, courgettes, watermelon, pears …).

High Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid

This is my go to company for high molecular weight hyaluronic acid. Others either don't know or don't care to share the molecular weight of their product. I've been buying from SuperSmart USA for a long time and they offer consistent quality. A good company to work with as long as you can handle slightly longer shipping times.
