Friend 

One of the most important parts of your weight reduction programme will be to ensure that you get a regular supply of water throughout the day as it will not only assist with your digestion and elimination but it will also ensure that you remain hydrated throughout the day helping your body to function as it should.

Foods that are high in carbohydrates give us energy but there are different types of carbohydrates and eating the wrong ones can make you fat.

The bad carbohydrates are simple carbohydrates such as sugar.  These will give you a boost of energy as the sugar gets into the bloodstream fast but they are not as good for you as complex carbohydrates such as grains, fruits and vegetables which will help to satisfy your appetite and make you feel full for longer by supplying you with fibre.

The problem for some people, and the reason they get fat, is that they are eating simple carbohydrates and fats in big quantities in their diet of junk food.

Simply changing from these poor carbohydrate foods to more complex carbohydrates will help to reduce weight.

Proteins are made up of amino acids which are the building blocks of the body and they help to maintain and repair the components of the body.

Proteins also supply energy but not as readily as carbohydrates and this is why many people who are tired choose to eat more carbohydrates to give them energy. 

Fats will also supply immediate energy, however they are very high in calorie content and there are many health risks associated with a diet that is high in fat.

All foods consist of one or more of these three main types of food; carbohydrate, protein and fat.

Where possible your carbohydrates should be complex carbohydrates or starches and try to reduce the amount of simple carbohydrates such as sugar in your diet. 

You should have no more than 30% of your calorie intake on a daily basis coming from fats.

Eat a sufficient amount of dietary fibre to help curb your appetite and help with your digestive system.
