The thought of introducing healthy changes to your lifestyle can be daunting.
Where do you start? What do you do to stop falling off the wagon? What’s the point?
While there’s no denying the process is tough, it can be made easier with a wise and helpful tip (or two). Formerly ‘overweight’ Reddit users recently shared the best weight management tip that actually worked for them — and stuck.
1. Ditch the juice.
While replacing fizzy drinks with juice might seem like a good idea, it requires moderation.
“Fruit juice and smoothies are terrible if you’re trying to lose weight,” wrote one Reddit user.
This is because they can often be packed with more sugar than your favourite form of bubbles.
Watch: How much sugar is really in your favourite drink? (Post continues after video.)
2. Be honest with yourself.
Don’t just write down the good stuff.
“Recording intake, even when you ‘cheat’, is the biggest thing … I would give up on tracking my meals/macros because I was ashamed I had given in to a craving,” wrote one Redditor, who worked at managing her weight for a long time.
