3 easy ways to beat belly fat!

Our nutritionists have put together three small changes that will make a big difference to your belly fat - so you feel your best for summer!

1. Watch your portion sizes: If you are over-eating you may be increasing the amount of fat stored around your belly, and even around your vital organs.

2. Reduce starchy carbs and bad fats: Unhealthy eating is the biggest driver of big bellies, instead fill up on vegetables and lean proteins.

3. Limit alcohol: It can lead to bloating and also has lots of calories, meaning you’re likely to pack on the pounds, especially around the belly.

Did you know that a poor night’s sleep can interfere with your diet? We're here to help you get a good night’s sleep.

1. Caffeine and alcohol: Avoid these before bed – they are both stimulants and can interrupt your sleep.

2. Fatty food: Fatty foods are hard to digest which may result in a disturbed night.

3. Sugary treats: These can lead to energy spikes and crashes making it difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep.

When the weather gets warmer, we often feel inspired to move a little more. But do we really need to walk 10k steps a day? Let’s find out!

1. Every step matters: It’s great to have a goal but and the more steps you can do the more it will improve your overall wellbeing and mental health – especially when the sun is shining.

2. Diet v exercise: Around 80% of weight loss is as result of consuming less calories, and only 20% is as a result of taking exercise. Walking is important because it also helps with cardiovascular health, bone density and muscle mass.

3. Set a realistic target: If you’d like to move more, start counting your steps on your phone to see how many you are doing and aim to do 10% more every week.

1. Set a goal: Knowing how much weight you’d like to lose is the first step to success.

2. Don’t leave it too late: A healthy weight loss is 1-2lbs a week. Work out when to start your diet based on your end goal.

3. Focus on your ‘why’: Understanding your ‘why’ – whether it’s a holiday, a special event or even your health, will make losing weight easier.

A few smart choices can make all the difference.

Losing weight over the party season doesn’t mean you need to miss out on your favourite drink! Alcohol contains many hidden calories, but not all drinks are equal – check out our top tips!

1. Try clear spirits with a sugar-free mixer: Like gin and slimline tonic, or a vodka lime soda. Opting for a slimline tonic can reduce the calories of the drink from 170 calories to 115 calories.

2. Enjoy a white wine spritzer: Adding soda water to your wine reduces the calories of the average glass of wine from 131 calories to 60 calories.

3. Choose champagne: At only 89 calories a glass it’s the low-calorie festive drink we all love.

With all the fun, frivolity and festive feasting, it’s no surprise that the average person in the UK gains about 6lbs over the party season. However, it is possible to enjoy yourself and control your calories - here are some tips to help.

1. Don’t overeat out of politeness: Every family or friendship group has a feeder! Make sure you have a strategy in place on how to say ‘no more thank you’.

2. Size down: Look out for mini versions of your favourite foods such as Christmas puddings, mince pies and even sausages.

3. Choose carefully: Avoid pastry items such as sausage rolls, quiche, and spring rolls. And steer clear of anything that's been deep-fried!

4. Check the cheese board: If you are going to tuck into the cheese board, add plenty of low-calorie items as possible such as grapes, figs and celery.

Food cravings are notoriously difficult to resist. A waft of doughnuts frying, a glimpse of salty chips or the rustle of a crisp packet can lead even the strongest willed of us to quickly break our healthy eating resolve.

1. Drink plenty of water: Sometimes we confuse hunger and thirst! Sipping on water throughout the day will help you feel full and therefore reduce your food cravings or urge to snack.

2. Hide the treats: Put all the ‘treats’ in a designated cupboard - out of sight out of mind! You’ll be less likely to crave the treat and go for a healthier snack alternative.

3. Question yourself: Am I hungry? Do I actually need this treat? Having a little pause and thinking about what you are doing before putting anything in your mouth, will make you think and process your actions.

Stop procrastinating and start losing weight - We’ll show you how!

1. There’s never a perfect time to lose weight: So don’t wait for one - instead find a plan that’s easy to follow, hassle-free and will work around your busy life.

2. Specificity is a game changer: Being specific and putting a concrete plan in place makes it easier to transition from inaction to action.

3. Overcome fear of failure: Weight-loss goals can sometimes seem daunting because people feel they must take extreme measures to achieve results. That’s where Diet Chef comes in! We make your life easier - no shopping, no cooking, no calorie counting – we do it all for you!
