Weight loss can be hard. That’s why you’ve probably tried every diet out there and are still not seeing the results you desire. Our Clinical Nutritionists from LEPT Nutrition have put together four simple tips based on their own experience and evidence-based research to help you achieve your weight loss goals.

1 - Eat a high protein breakfast

2 - Plan your meals and cook at home as much as possible

3 - Drink plenty of water

Increasing your water intake has been associated with an increase in weight loss and energy expenditure, as well as deceased appetite and food intake. So drink up!

Here are some tips to effortlessly increase your water intake throughout the day:

1.    Start the day with a big glass of water. You’re the most dehydrated first thing in the morning so be sure to start your day with a large glass of water to boost your hydration levels nice and early. This is particularly important if you usually reach for a tea of coffee first thing, as these drinks can be very dehydrating.

2.    Carry a water bottle with you at all times.

3.    Set ‘water break’ alarms in your phone.

4.    Drink a glass of water after each meal. Note that we said after? Drinking large amounts of water before your meals can decrease your stomach acid, reducing your digestive capacity, which is why we recommend drinking your glass of water after your meals.

4 - Weigh yourself regularly

If you’re serious about losing or maintaining your weight, then regular weigh-ins have been shown to encourage weight loss. We recommend weighing in 2-3 times per week, immediately after waking (after you empty your bowels but before you have your first glass of water).  

It’s important to remember that there are many factors that can cause weight to fluctuate daily, so it’s important to not focus on each number, but instead on the overall picture. Your Nutritionist can help you to work through any concerns you have when stepping on the scale.
