Yo-yo dieting, or weight gain after weight loss is something that would-be dieters should aim to avoid. If you’re considering starting a diet or weight loss regime, make sure it allows you to learn about what works for your body, and importantly lets you lose weight in a slow controlled and sustainable way.

Can understanding the Eatiful hunger zone help you? There’s a ‘right’ level of hunger during which you should eat. You should never get too hungry, nor should you get too full. It’s all about balance - hence there’s a ‘zone’ of hunger during which you should eat. You should not let yourself get outside of that zone.

We take a look at the role of eating speed in weight loss and gain. If eating too fast causes weight gain, then eating slowly can reverse it. Eating slowly helps you to notice when you’ve eaten just the right amount of food for your body, and helps you digest it better.

Eatiful is a way to change how you eat, for the long term. It provides you with an enjoyable, sustainable way to change your whole approach to eating, and your relationship with food. We support you for the long term. Understanding fat loss properly, will serve you well. To start with we want to bust a few myths. Myths like ‘it’s possible to lose more than a couple of pounds in a week’ or myths like ‘you can lose a pound of fat in a day’. Ready? Let's get started.

A strong and positive mindset can help set clear and achievable weight loss goals, and with the belief that you can achieve them, you're more likely to stay motivated throughout your weight loss journey. A resilient mindset can help you develop and maintain self-discipline, making it easier to adopt new habits.

The decision is key, and I am pretty sure I would not have lost weight had I not decided to, had I simply wanted to, or tried to. Without deciding to, I would not have been committed. By deciding, I told my brain what it was I wanted. I told it, and it listened. By making a decision, my brain had been instructed. It then just had to get on with it.

Your "why" is the driving force behind your weight loss journey, the motivation that will see you through both the highs and lows. Every person will have a different reason for wanting to lose weight and it’s important to understand your uniquely personal reason for wanting to lose weight.

Keeping a weight loss journal is an invaluable and powerful tool to boost your weight loss journey and enhance self-awareness. By putting pen to paper, you create a space to track your progress, emotions, and insights. It’s a way to document and learn from your daily habits as you lose weight.

When tracking your progress during a weight loss journey, it's natural to feel eager to see results daily. However, choosing a weekly weigh-in over daily measurements can be a more practical and beneficial approach to managing your weight effectively. Here's why…

Whatever your weight is today, it’s important to accept yourself as you are today and to show yourself love and respect, - and compassion right now. Otherwise, you will bring negative emotions to your weight loss journey. The process of losing weight can be amazing, and you are already a long way on your journey.

Drinking water before eating will slow you down and will stop you from launching straight into eating. You’ll take a moment to think, to remind yourself of your weight loss whys and remember to eat slowly and savour every mouthful.

Staying hydrated aids in maintaining proper digestion and regular bowel movements, contributing to a well-functioning digestive system. When your digestive system works efficiently, your body can absorb nutrients effectively and eliminate waste properly, promoting optimal gut health.
