Beat the Dark Mornings • The days are getting shorter, and we’re now getting into a pattern of waking up in the dark so it can be tough to pull yourself out of bed in the morning.
Here’s some tips on how to try and beat that early morning slump:

• Have a drink of cold water
• Resist the temptation to hit snooze (or if you do, only do it once!)
• Wake up at a regular time each morning
• Make sure you're getting enough sleep
• Plan a morning ritual

Have you tried couch to 5K? • Getting active, no matter how much you do, is good for your body and mind. If you’re a beginner to running, or find it tough to motivate yourself to go the distance, we recommend the NHS Couch to 5K app.
The app comes with a choice of 5 trainers to guide you through the programme, tracks your runs and connects you with other app users! It’s helped 4 million people get into running already and it could help you too. Available on both Apple and Android in their respective app stores.

Countdown to Christmas • It’s four weeks until Christmas Day and the supermarkets are laden with festive treats. If you’re currently trying to lose weight, the Christmas season can be a difficult one. It’s the time of year where everyone lets their hair down a little more, lots of parties, socialising, and catch ups with friends and family. Christmas is to be enjoyed - so it helps to set yourself boundaries. Try to stick to the positive habits and regimes you’ve already instilled, keep up regular exercise and build a balance of naughty and nice.

Message from Dr Zarine • As a GP I am often asked which diet is best to lose weight? The simple answer I give them is ‘whichever one you can stick to!’.

We at Versa encourage a whole food, mostly plant based diet, which is sustainable and doesn’t cut out certain food groups. Carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats are all important in a healthy diet and when eaten in the right proportions can lead you to lose weight and sustain the weight lost. Our meal replacements are used as a tool to create a calorie deficit while ensuring you receive the nutrition you need to stay healthy and break bad eating habits while you lose weight. However in each plan you will learn how to eat the foods you enjoy in the right proportions to enable you to lose weight and maintain it.

I have four tips for anyone who has made the decision to lose weight which will help them achieve their weight loss goal for any programme they choose. These tips are to put you in the correct mindset to achieve your goal and to stay motivated; I speak from experience and it works...

• Believe you can achieve your weight loss goal.
• Understand that there needs to be a calorie deficit to lose weight.
• Accept it will take time and be patient.
• Enjoy the journey and the destination will come!

• Set achievable goals that are confidence boosting

The benefits of swimming • Exercising in winter can be a struggle sometimes, especially when motivating yourself to get out in the colder weather. Swimming can be done indoors, in the warm, and is one of the best forms of exercise as it works your entire body: from your toes to your finger tips. While your muscles are getting a good workout, your cardiovascular system is, too. If you’re trying to lose weight, swimming is an efficient way to burn calories with water acting as a resistance. When was the last time you went swimming? Find your goggles and search for your local swimming centre - have fun whilst you get active.

National Stress Awareness Day • Today is Stress Awareness Day, following the conclusion of International Stress Awareness Week which looks to address the importance of supporting those that suffer, guiding those who require help to seek it from the right places, and campaign to erase the stigmas associated with stress and mental health issues around the world.
Stress can manifest in so many different ways, but learning how to cope with stress is essential for us all. Here are our four top tips to help start get your stress managed:

*Talk about it: speaking to family and friends can sometimes lessen a burden - don’t be afraid to open up to your loved ones.
*Eat healthily: your food is your fuel, so what you put inside your body has a huge impact upon your mood; the more nutritious your food the better you’ll feel.
*Move: getting your blood pumping with a walk, run, cycle or workout will get your endorphin levels raised and will help with reducing your stress levels.
*Meditate: breathing and relaxation exercises are an excellent method for many. There are some great apps out there that can guide you through the exercises too: check out Headspace or Calm (amongst others).
