Weight-loss Tip: When deciding on a diet for you, remember to cut down not out! Trim portions of food instead of removing entire categories (carbs, fats, etc.).

Weight-loss Tip: Here are some weight-loss friendly foods: leafy greens (kale, spinach), lean beef, chicken breasts, boiled potatoes, sweet potatoes, turnips.

Weight-loss Tip: Although fruits contain sugar, they have a low energy density & take a while to chew. The fibre prevents sugar from being released too quickly.

Weight-loss Tip: Make sure to eat enough. Eating too little can backfire. Never have less than 1,200 calories a day – or you may slow down your metabolism.

Weight-loss Tip: Keep calm. If you are under a lot of stress, rather wait before starting a diet – stress released cortisol which can lead to weight gain.
