Every day it seems another weight loss supplement or drink pops up, but thinking they will change your life is a waste of time, The Healthy Mummy team said.
‘Weight loss takes commitment and healthy weight loss should be done over a sensible period of time with the aim to lose 500g-1kg a week,’ they said.
Instead of taking pills, you should focus on cutting out junk food, sugar and alcohol – as these are the things that will make a long-term difference.
2. Not eating enough protein
You might have heard before that protein is vital for building muscle, but it’s not just its muscle-building properties that make it great for weight loss.
It also helps to boost the metabolism and keeps you fuller for longer, to help to stop you for reaching for sugary snacks after every meal.
The experts recommend you consume some form of protein with every meal and snack, whether it’s a boiled egg, some nuts or lean chicken.
That way, your body will be getting the right balance of nutrients and you should stop craving chocolate.
