Finding it hard to lose weight but doing everything right?
Losing fat does not require a complete overhaul of your diet, you just need to be in a calorie deficit consistently over a period of time. If you are struggling to lose fat, here are 5 swaps you can make right now to help you lose weight.
- Decrease liquid calories. Swap a cappuccino for an americano – save 100 calories.
- Swap a can of coke for a coke zero and save 150 calories.
- Slightly decrease carb portions and bulk with vegetables.
- Substitute a 75g portion of rice (267 calories) to a 50g portion mixed with 100g of cauliflower (205 calories). The same can be done with pastas.
- Opt for a low calorie or light sauce alternative. Swap mayonnaise (90 calories per tablespoon) for light mayonnaise (35 calories per tablespoon). Stick to leaner protein sources.
Swap 100g of 20% Fat mince (254 calories) for 5% Fat mince (136 calories).
Be 10% better than usual. If you usually pig out on a Saturday night and order a large thick base pizza and a side. How about ordering a medium thin base and drop the side and save 600+ calories. You get to indulge while still making an effort.
