Try gluten free food for a while does wonders for the body.

Barley in water flushes out the system not like a laxative though.

Replace white bread with sour dough bread.

Increase your fluid intake (

)

Green jasmine tea.

Fruits and veggies every single day.

It's 80% what you eat and rest is exercise.

God's luck

I was thinking of doing zero carbs diet for few months to get rid of extra xmas fat. Anyone tried or currently doing it?

Going to extreme diets is never a good idea. You are basically starving your body of the nutritional food it needs.

Cutting out sugar though is never a bad idea. The amount of sugar in white bread is scary. When you eat high sugar foods your body has to work twice as much, if you don't burn it off it turns straight to fat. Certain fruits like banana also are high in sugar levels.

Light cardio and weights is an easy way to keep fit. 20 min cardio and 30 min weights. 3 times a week.That's all you need.

Cutting out anything completely is a bad idea...join a gym see a nutritiost or join unislim or slimming world...

Get more super foods into your diet

Avocado, beetroot, garlic, blueberries (and other darkberries ), nuts and seeds etc.

Watch portion sizes. I am going to make mine smaller, especially for dinner

Get rid of refined and processed sugar out out of your diet. You don't need it to survive, your body just craves it. Eat healthy, know where your food comes from and whats in it. Drink a minimum of 2L of water a day. Exercise.

It's all about balancing the food intake & exercise. I had lost a lot of weight over the past few years but over the past few months I've slowly gained a stone back. So now it's time to start fresh again. I've not been exercising & not been tracking my food intake so I know where to start. My motivation isn't great though so I need a kick in the ass. Carmel xx

It's 80% diet and 20% exercise but one is no good with the other. Small steps. Don't barrage yourself with extreme diets and exercise regimes. If you have never done exercise before and go to the gym 5 times a week all of a sudden you'll become the gym owners favourite member...the one who pays the money, goes for a month and then gives up.

Personal trainer and running coach here. If anybody wants advice let me know I'll gladly help.

It's a lovely day out today. Make a start go for a short walk/run/cycle, come back, make and set yourself a goal when your head is clear.

Make it , plan it, write it down and put it somewhere where you and your family can see it everyday. They are your biggest supporters.

Not quite sure about getting healthy but if you follow all these suggestions have lots of air fresheners on hand and the number of a good plumber or dynorod on speed dial.

I general making big changes to your diet won't last as it's often to much hassle so it's as much about making things as easy as possible to cook good foods. Last Xmas Mrs bought me a nutritibullet, it sits on the counter permanently so we use it a lot. You can by frozen spinach fruits kale etc in Aldi for peanuts. The combinations are endless and if you are in training just through in some peanut butter oats and protein power for a good hour or twos slow release energy.

Another recent buy was an airfryer....Wait don't go mad. It's bloody amazing for cooking salmon or chicken breasts in half the time an oven would and don't get squashed like they would in a George Foreman. As a treat it's great for sweat potato sprayed with a flavoured oil of your choice.

Last night we fancied a take away but had a look in the press and found tomatoe and basil wraps which we used as pizza bases, loaded with bits and bobs from the fridge using tomato puree as a sauce. Bloody delicious and not a bit of Suger flour or butter in sight. There is a tasty healthy alternative to everything if we want to put the effort into making it

Stay away from the cakes

on a serious note I use the 80 / 10 rule , 80% good 20 % bad and watch your portion sizes , hand full protein , two of fruit or veg and one of carps . Simple and effective .

This...And flavour the oil with spices rather than piling on salt and pepper after. Tis a great bit of kit :-

It was a mental year so I let myself chill and go nuts over Xmas, just food mind you as I've never been a big drinker. I haven't worked out in 3 weeks and it shows so I went for a cycle today not realizing how bad the roads were in the Wicklow mountains and came off the bike, battered and brused I eventually made it home. I think I'll just stick to indoor activities and the dark chocolate option until temp goes up a little

Never drink cold drinks after say for example dinner, drink hot water or black tea .. it flushes all the fats away that would otherwise lodge in your system...

I follow a Slimming World plan and lost 2.5 stone last year. . Back on track next week to get rid of the Xmas excesses
