If there is one piece of advice I could give everyone on health and nutrition it's that dieting doesn't work, well not in the long term anyway. Only 10% of people who lose weight through dieting keep that weight off in their first year after losing the weight. After that, a further 5% of those people keep it off in their second year.

There is a big difference between dieting and eating healthily. For you to succeed in your weight loss goals you need to make a conscious decision to change your lifestyle and that lifestyle change should incorporate exercise and healthy balanced nutrition.

Making that lifestyle change is a hard step to take, believe me I've been there and failed on a fair few occasions. There are so many diets in the world today, it's scary. The majority just offer 'quick-fixes' but never anything permanent or sustainable. That is why so many people yo-yo up and down with their weight and jump from one diet to the next, becoming more and more disillusioned every time they fail.

Which is why I maintain that people need to change their lifestyle, and this will only happen when they are both physically, and most importantly, mentally ready to do so.

Below are some easy to read and understand articles that will help you make those small steps to changing your lifestyle today. Pease get in touch me with me if you have any questions you would like to ask.

Stay well.
