Health Warning– Rapid weight loss may cause serious health problems. (Rapid weight loss is a loss of more than 1kg per week or 1% of body weight after the third week of a weight loss program) If you are on medication or being treated for an illness it is advisable that you contact your Doctor before commencing any weight loss program.
How quickly should I lose weight?
Aim for a steady weight loss on average – 1% of your total body weight per week is a good guide. Set yourself a goal and don’t weigh yourself each day. Once a week is sufficient. Concentrate on eating well and being active rather than watching the scales.
Trim-A-Weigh’s meal plan is deigned to achieve this rate of weight loss for most people
Why it is important to eat regular meals?
Eating regular meals maintains a healthy metabolic rate which gives you more energy and helps sustain your weight loss in the long term.
No matter how busy you are, don’t skip meals. Trim-A-Weigh has the meal plan to suit you
Do I need to exercise?
Healthy eating and regular exercise go hand in hand. Weight loss is more successful and sustainable if you increase your activity levels.
Regular exercise makes you feel good, can improve body shape and can assist in long term weight management and good health.
SET YOURSELF A REGULAR EXERCISE PROGRAM. 30 MINUTES OF ACTIVITY OVER A DAY IS IDEAL
e.g. walking, swimming, aerobic or floor exercises will all add to your general well-being.
The importance of drinking water…..
The recommended intake of 8 glasses of water per day is important for good health. Spread your fluid intake out over the day.
Trim-A-Weigh can help with your special dietary needs eg. Diabetes, high cholesterol, and certain food allergies.
If you are on medication or have a medical problem we recommend you consult your Doctor before commencing any weight loss program.
