Losing weight does not have to involve an extreme overhaul of every element of your current lifestyle. In fact, making gradual and manageable changes has been found to be much more effective for sustaining weight loss in the long run. Try out these five easy swaps to get you started on your weight loss journey!
1. Swap the lift for the stairs
Moving more in general in addition to exercise can be helpful with weight loss. You could also try parking the car further away from the entrance or getting off the bus 1 or 2 stops early. All these little chunks of extra movement then add up across the day.
2. Swap white carbs for brown
Carbs are in foods such as bread, pasta and rice. Brown versions of these foods contain wholegrains which means they are higher in fibre than the white versions. Increasing fibre in our diet helps to keep us fuller for longer.
