For me the key to weight loss is ‘keep it simple’ and these 5 tips are ‘tick boxes’ to keep you on track. BUT you cannot simply read this article and go ‘yep I do that’. It is not just about doing each tip, it is about doing them well and striving to do them better.
Often the reason for not losing weight is because we believe that we are already doing enough of the right things and we overlook the obvious. It is good to get an outside perspective to hold us accountable and sometimes all the advice you need is ‘do MORE of what you are doing and give yourself MORE time’.

So please read this article and then read it again in a few weeks… and keep working on the tips every day!
