You exercise once or twice weekly and cannot understand why you are not losing weight

• It is highly frustrating if, in your own opinion, there is no coherence between how much you weigh and how much you exercise.

Advice  Be careful not to consume fast (and fattening) carbohydrates after you exercise. Remember that it is important also to engage in many types of less physically challenging activities during the day. Get a pedometer or use
your smartphone to make sure that you walk 5,000 - 10,000 steps daily on average. Dial down your stress level.

Getting up from the dining table in time is an easy little task that can produce great results.
The same is the case if we get up from behind our office desks, or from the couch or car seat, and engage in various types of physical activities (big and small) during the day.

A study conducted by scientists at the Cancer Prevention Research Centre University of Queensland shows that many short breaks involving physical activities makes it easier to control one’s weight and improve one’s health.

A main meal should ideally stabilize your blood sugar and provide 4-5 hours of satiety (possibly helped by a little snack). If you are still hungry, you may need more protein and less carbohydrate. If you have egg(s) with breakfast, you are better off choosing a different protein source for lunch.
