Checklist - Ideas to help losses
By Ian Hutcherson · Last edited about 4 months ago · Edit Doc
These are ideas I have heard from various places, I have not necessarily done each one but know that people have done well with these. Some are obvious I know!
1) 8 glasses/2 litres of water a day – your body does need this much!
2) Food diary – always helps make sure your not missing counting things which your eating.
3) Superfree challenge – ½ your food superfree for every meal for one week
4) Scan bran challenge – 5 pieces of scan bran a day for a week but make sure you drink LOTS of water (1 syn each of 5 for heB)
5) Get a pedometer – you are meant to walk 1000 steps a day and that is a lot!
6) 777 challenge – 7 days, 7 syns, 7 speed foods per day, thats had great results for one of my friends
7) Healthy B challenge – have a different B choice everyday for a week, try to avoid the normal cereal and toast as there are loads including cooked fruits, soups and nuts.
8) New meal everyday – There are loads of recipes online, on facebook, in the books and magazines that it would be possible to try a new meal everyday! Doesnt have to be huge meal, maybe even a desert
9) One month challenge – set yourself a reasonable goal for a whole month (normally 4 WI’s) and go for it full on 100%! You could even reward yourself with a small, non-food related treat like jewellery.
10) Plan every meal for one week – this will help keep you focused and prepared to try new ideas.
11) Speed food challenge – Try to eat as many as many speed foods as you can per day. On average I managed 12 last week!!
12) Couch to 5k challenge – there is a website for this but online there are free resources to help you start running , SW online also has a good article on starting running.
13) Less Caffeine week – caffeine can do something to your body to slow down losses so by reducing your caffeine a little may help your losses (This has worked for me!)
14) Change of plan – If you are used to one plan, try another! Will make you think more about what you’re eating and so help keep you on track.
15) Exercise – try to increase this but obviously don’t go all in week 1 as you will be less likely to stick to it.
16) Decrease portions a LITTLE bit - Your body will not need the same amount of food it did 1, 2, 3.. stone ago. I do mean decrease a small amount, and so when a recipe says serves 4, eat 1/4. If you are still hungry there is loads of fruit you could eat which will also be SF and probably speedy!
