Fifty percent of women are on a diet at any given time, but despite our best efforts, sometimes the numbers on those scales just won’t budge. We look at what you can change to boost your weight loss…
1. You’re not spotting the hidden sugars
Excess sugar is the main culprit when it comes to weight gain. When we have too much sugar, our body is programmed to store the excess as fat cells. You might avoid the obvious suspects of chocolate and cookies, but if you’re replacing these with honey or dried fruit, your sugar levels could still be too high. The reality is that sugar is sugar, no matter how ‘healthy’ the form.
TRY: Run a sugar audit for a few days. Keep a log of your diet – you may be surprised by just how much you’re consuming. Try weaning yourself off gradually, cutting back on sugary treats one at a time.
