As we mature many of us find that we have gained a kilo or two, and
our weight distribution has changed! Maybe our hips and thighs are not as slim
or as firm as they were in our 20's and 30's and we immediately search for a diet
that we feel will suit us.
However the secret to successful long term weight management involves not dieting,
but eating sensibly, drinking 8 - 10 glasses of water a day combined with exercise
and good quality weight loss supplements.
It is important to enjoy your food, and because our metabolism slows as we age,
to maintain energy and blood sugar levels evenly during the day try to eat smaller
meals more often. For example 5 small meals, breakfast, mid-morning snack, lunch,
mid-afternoon snack, and a small evening meal.
I have found that the GR² Control weight management programme is an indispensible
ally in helping me to stay trim and to maintain my goal weight.

Also of prime importance is incorporating good
quality filtered alkaline water consumption into your day regime. )
Here are some tips to help this happen.
1. Have a glass when you wake in the morning.
2. Drink water at each mealtime.
3. Caffeine dehydrates your body, so drink a glass of water for each caffeinated
drink you consume. (That includes tea and colas)
4. Carry water with you wherever you go and drink it often.
5. When exercising drink 250mls. of water every 15 minutes.
We also need exercise to help boost our metabolism, and to reach and maintain
our weight loss goals. It is critical in any exercise programme to choose the
type of exercise which you can enjoy and look forward to. Find a friend or exercise
buddy and embark on a programme you can enjoy together, there are a multitude
of benefits in this. Include your friend if possible in your weight loss plan,
thereby supporting one another.
Above all maintain a positive attitude, affirmations can help here. Try these,
"I am becoming healthier and losing weight every day". "I am happy
in the knowledge that my health and inner beauty shine through, and I am reaching
my goal weight " are manifestations of your optimistic outlook.
Be patient and persevere, this new you will emerge after time and effort, but
will be well worth the wait.
