Juniper uses specialist clinicians to create personalised-based plans, helping women achieve their long term weight-loss goals.
The fully clinically approved programme is perfect for anyone looking to get healthier by shedding some pounds in a sustainable way.
Here Juniper expert health coach, Deborah, shares the basics anyone looking to lose weight should start doing in order to help increase their metabolism and start moving again.
1. Set realistic goals
Make sure that you set achievable goals that can fit into your day-to-day life.
Making incremental changes over time and focusing on developing healthy habits rather than the number on the scale – is more sustainable and gratifying in the long run.
2. Identify your enablers and barriers
When we talk about enablers, we think about the ‘somethings’ or ‘someone’ you have on your side that can help you achieve your goals.
Barriers refer to the obstacles in your way to success.
Identifying these and being aware of them will better prepare you to face your challenges and overcome them.
3. Self-monitoring
Strong evidence shows that self-monitoring is a key factor in successful behaviour change.
Self-monitoring can be as simple as you like, from weekly weigh-ins and calorie tracking, to keeping a diary to track cravings and moods and using checklists.
4. Plenty of walking
It's the part where your metabolism is the most active as it needs to synthesise the food you've just given it.
5 . Get enough sleep
Lots of sleep is also important for anyone trying to lose weight. It stimulates your metabolism, a good point for those loving a bit of a lie-in.
In contrast, a lack of sleep can lead to increased appetite caused by hormonal changes. This can often lead us to reach for unhealthier foods that are detrimental to long-term health.
