Five ways to start your healthy weight loss plan

To reduce the amount of fat you eat, you could trim the fat off meat, drink skimmed or semi-skimmed milk instead of full fat, choose a reduced- or low-fat spread and replace cream with low-fat food.
Eat wholegrain foods, such as wholemeal bread, brown rice and pasta. They're digested more slowly than the white varieties so will help you feel full for longer.
Don't skip breakfast. A healthy breakfast will give you the energy you need to start the day, and there's some evidence that people who eat breakfast regularly are less likely to be overweight.
If you feel like a snack, try having a drink first, such as a glass of water or cup of tea. Often we think we're hungry when really we're thirsty.
Aim to eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day. Go to our 68q.net shopping planner for lots of ideas on how to get your five a day.
Regular exercise will not only help you lose weight but could also reduce your risk of developing a serious illness. 
Adults should do at least 30 minutes of activity five times a week for general health benefits. To lose weight and keep it off, you need to do at least 60 minutes of activity regularly.
