Slow and steady weight loss is ideal, but Holland & Barrett nutritionist Isabel Tarrant has explained how it\u2019s possible to achieve fast weight loss safely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Isabel said: \u201cTo lose weight effectively and safely, you don\u2019t need to cut out whole food groups e.g. carbs or dairy, as this can lead to nutrient deficiencies. Instead, focus on eating a range of good quality foods from each food group.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She suggested making healthy swaps; white rice for wholegrain brown rice or chips for sweet potato.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The nutritionist added: \u201cFocusing on whole foods from each food group is a great way to promote safe weight loss.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWeight loss can become unsafe when you cut your calories too dramatically. Although reducing your calorie intake is important for weight loss, it doesn\u2019t need to be a drastic reduction,\u201d Isabel said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For \u201csafe weight loss\u201d, reducing calorie intake by 500 calories a day can equate to 1lb weight loss a week.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The expert said reducing calories by 500 calories a day is an \u201cachievable and maintainable goal\u201d and it won\u2019t feel as if \u201cyou\u2019re starving yourself\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A healthy diet consists of plenty of whole foods, eg. fruit, vegetables, whole grains, beans and pulses.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A \u201csimple way\u201d to achieve safe weight loss is to reduce the amount of processed and packaged foods you consume as these are \u201cfull of salt, sugar and artificial additives\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Anyone who regularly snacks throughout the day should consider switching to whole food snacks. Eg. swap a pack of crisps or chocolate bar for a piece of fruit or handful of nuts, or apple and peanut and butter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Don’t miss… <\/strong> Portion sizes depend on age, gender and activity level. A general rule of thumb, a healthy adult portion size could consist of six tablespoons of pasta, two eggs and two tablespoons of nuts, one handful of grapes and 40g of cereal.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cA trick to aid weight loss is eating on smaller plates\u201d, Isabel said. \u201cResearch has shown that individuals eat significantly less when served the same amount of food on a small plate rather than a bigger plate.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n This is because using a smaller plate tricks the brain into thinking the amount of food you\u2019re eating is larger than compared to it being on a bigger plate, so you\u2019ll eat less.\u00a0<\/p>\n Research has shown that we tend to eat up to 30 percent more food when watching TV or while on our phones, compared to when eating without digital distractions.<\/p>\n Eating mindfully allows us to pay attention to our body\u2019s natural hunger and satiety signals, so we can recognise when we\u2019re full and stop eating.<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.
