Tips for losing weight

Focus on what to eat, rather than what not to eat
·        Ensure you eat the minimum of each healthy food groups
Eat at least one low GI food at each meal
·        Reducing the GI in your diet will reduce insulin levels and increase the potential for fat burning
Reduce your fat intake, especially saturated fat
·        Reducing the amount of fat is an effective way to lower the energy density of your diet since fat contains more kilojoules per gram than any other food.  It is unnecessary and unwise to cut fat out completely.  Look to consume healthier fats.
Eat regularly
·        It prevents over eating at certain times of the day
·        Keep your metabolism churning over
·        Make all choices nutritious- aim for 5-6 small "meals" a day
