These articles will give you more benefits and ideas to kill two birds with one stone.

The following articles have menus and recipes for you to get started on and I know that you will enjoy the variety and the feeling of losing weight comfortably. Here are some tips to ensure your success.

- Be realistic - gradual and small changes made your eating habits are easier to keep up long-term.

- Set your mini-targets, such as 1.5kg/3lb, then 4kg/half a stone, etc. Reaching a mini-target for weight loss can be a great motivation booster and will encourage you to continue with your planned weight loss. Reward yourself when you reach your mini-target with a special treat that's not food related.

- Set motivating goals for yourself, e.g. being able to walk upstairs without getting breathless, being able to join in activities with your children, fitting into clothes that are several sizes smaller.

- Use lots of flavouring such as fresh herbs, garlic, lemon juice, chilli, and Worcestershire sauce. These will hel yous (help you) to lessen your reliance on all those higher-calorie sauces.

- Make a list of the reasons why you hate being overweight, why you want to slim and what you look forward to when you've lost weight. Keep it handy and look at it whenever your motivation flags.

- Boost the variety in your meals. Lack of variety is a great slimming tripwire.

- Don't ban any foods from your slimming plan. Always include your favourite foods as part of your healthy balanced diet.

- Whatever you do, don't punish yourself or try to make up for it later. A cycle of restriction and bingeing is very uncomfortable as a diet method and can't be sustained. Just put yesterday behind you and get straight back on track with your plan.

- Set increased activity goals. This doesn't necessarily mean joining a gym. It means adding extra everyday movement into your life. A recent study shows that people who simply fidget a lot keep their weight more stable than those of us who sit entirety motionless. So as small a move as a fidget can help create the leaner body you want. Get exercise-aware - stairs are exercise, dancing is exercise, walking is exercise, gardening is exercise. Add a couple more sessions of normal activity into your daily routines. Go slowly, check with your GP though, and aim to sustain whatever activity you have chosen.

- Support could make a crucial difference to your success. Tell chosen trusted friends or family that you're ready to start diet plan / weight loss program and that it's important to you. Ask for support and encouragement.
