Hi from Joanne McMahon, Weight Management Specialist and Head of the Team at Weight Loss Secret
I have been personally motivating women to lose weight and take charge of their health for the last three years. I know the difficulties faced when trying to stay in control of your health especially when you are a working mum and have kids to take care of as well but I can assure you, with discipline, will power and a MASSIVE dose of organization of your week, you CAN achieve your goals.
My biggest tip to you when you are trying to lose weight is to remove the foods that cause the problems. It is this simple. When you have high carbohydrate foods daily and lots of sugar, you naturally want more of these foods. The excess insulin released into your blood stream creates cravings. If you think about this example, when you have a coffee and a sweet biscuit for morning tea, next day around the same time, you are looking for it again! If you drink soft drink, it is full of sugar and you really find it hard to stop drinking it daily.
You need to give up the high carbs, white rice, white pasta, white bread, white potato and sugar and replace these foods with healthy low G.I foods, whole grains and lean proteins. For every soda or coffee or juice you consume, replace it with water and watch your waist line and health change.
Be organized. I do a weekly grocery shop and have every thing I need for breakfast,lunch and dinner for my whole family available. I then have to take a quick trip mid week to top up our fresh fruit supplies. I make every ones lunch the night before for the next day while I am preparing dinner. We all partake in planning our weekly dinner menu as well. We work a week in advance. This extra effort helps us all as a family to stay focused and healthy and I do not purchase soft drinks, cakes or sweets etc so there is no temptation for me or any one else in the family!
Organization and planning is a great way to help achieve your goals!
Yours in good health and happiness
