A main meal should ideally stabilize your blood sugar and provide 4-5 hours of satiety (possibly helped by a little snack). If you are still hungry, you may need more protein and less carbohydrate. If you have egg(s) with breakfast, you are better off choosing a different protein source for lunch.

Getting up from the dining table in time is an easy little task that can produce great results.
The same is the case if we get up from behind our office desks, or from the couch or car seat, and engage in various types of physical activities (big and small) during the day.

A study conducted by scientists at the Cancer Prevention Research Centre University of Queensland shows that many short breaks involving physical activities makes it easier to control one’s weight and improve one’s health.

You exercise once or twice weekly and cannot understand why you are not losing weight

• It is highly frustrating if, in your own opinion, there is no coherence between how much you weigh and how much you exercise.

Advice  Be careful not to consume fast (and fattening) carbohydrates after you exercise. Remember that it is important also to engage in many types of less physically challenging activities during the day. Get a pedometer or use
your smartphone to make sure that you walk 5,000 - 10,000 steps daily on average. Dial down your stress level.

You drink milk or juice with your meal

• You are getting unnecessary calories without fiber.

Advice  Drink water (you can add a little lemon). It is good for your digestion and reduces your food uptake.

You drink tea/coffee with milk, cafe latte, cocoa milk or ice tea

• Milk contains excess calories, and there are particularly many in cafe latte. Both cocoa milk and ice tea contain a lot of sugar.

Advice  Try drinking black coffee/green tea, possibly with a bit of cinnamon that has a good effect on your metabolism.

It can be difficult to understand why it is so difficult to lose weight or to maintain your ideal weight. You probably feel that you are doing everything you possibly can to try to eat less and exercise more, but the bathroom scale is not exactly a friend of yours. As frustrating as this may be, you could be overlooking something.

A half to a whole teaspoon of cinnamon daily may help control blood sugar levels – both in healthy people and diabetics.
This is highly important for those who want to lose weight or maintain their ideal weight, as large blood sugar fluctuations increase the risk that excess calories in the blood are stored as fat.

Carnitine is an amino acid that helps carry lipids from the bloodstream into the mitochondria, which are the small, cellular ”powerhouses” that make energy. You can compare carnitine to a doorman that allows fat to enter the cells where the fat is then converted into energy.
