If my Doctor said to me "You've got to lower BMI, lose weight & body fat" (dangerous stuff around your waist).These are the 1st 3 things I would do for 6 weeks...

I hear this all the time...."My Doctor said to me you've got to lower BMI, lose weight & body fat (dangerous stuff around your waist).

I'm trying, I lose a bit on the scales then it goes up again, I don't seem to be making any significant progress & I'm confused, demotivated & it's stressing me out"!

.

You're eating healthy, exercising & you know you need to lower BMI, scales weight & body fat.

This could be the request from your GP for lots of reasons (here's a few);

•  Reduce risk of Type 2 Diabetes

•  Improve Blood Pressure

•  Lower risk of Heart Disease & Stroke

•  Reduce Joint Pain & Osteoarthritis

•  Improve Sleep Apnoea & Breathing

•  Improve Fertility & Pregnancy Outcomes

•  Support Better Mental Health & Confidence

.

The biggest deal with this is doing something that's going to make a real difference- consistently.

.

These are the FIRST 3 things I would do for 6 weeks to get started:

Track what I'm doing in my diary, plan it & tick it off.

1- Stop snacking in between meals & eat plenty of protein when I do eat my meals.

2- Make sure I'm walking every day at least 5,000

3- Prepare my 'runway' for optimal sleep quality (get daylight, exercise everyday, make sure I'm hydrated, not drink caffeine after lunch, eat 2/3 hours before bed time, lock my phone out of my bedroom!).

.

TIP: I would tell a mate & get them to check up on me (works well for external accountability).

.

I hope this is helpful.

Remember- simplicity works, the more complicated something becomes, the less likely it will happen.

.

Which one would you start with first & why?

What do you struggle with most?
