WEIGHT LOSS TIPS CONTINUED

8. Cut out all fizzy drinks and energy drinks and all low-fat products containing artifical sugars - ASAP! What can I say? Most of these products are high-glycaemic, leach your body of much needed B vitamins, create gas and bloatedness in the digestive system and they are addictive. Need I go on? We do not know what the full effects of artificial sugars are yet as studies are still inconclusive, but Aspartame has been linked to cancer and has been banned in certain states of America -so thats enough for me! Check the labels on all your low-fat yogurts and no added sugar diet drinks and fruit juices - they could be doing you more harm than good.

Please note if you have been drinking fizzy / energy drinks for a long time cut down slowly as you may experience headaches as your body detoxifies itself. The same applies to coffee and tea - also try to limit your intake of these and replace with herbal teas or room temperature water, but do it slowly. You may feel malaise or headahcy for a couple of days but after this you will feel 100 times better than before.

9. Have lots of fibrous filling salads and green vegetables on an evening, even if you do have to have them between two slices of wholemeal bread -this is a start. The salads and green vegetables are very satisfying and the fibre will gently work overnight mopping, up insoluble fats, gaining momentum and hopefully forming a nice poo for the morning! Keep your fridge stocked up with chopped ready to eat salads and veg with houmous and guacamole to snack on any time.

10. Cut down as much as you can on dairy products. Dairy products are pasteurised and are very difficult for the body to break down and digest. They are mucous and acid-forming, so people with inflammatory problems such as asthma, excema, sinus problems etc should really steer well clear. From my experience as a nurse and colonic hydrotherapist people find it very difficult to lose weight while consuming lots of dairy.

11. Try not to look at the piles of cadbury's creme eggs next to every checkout!!! Mmmmmm!
