Small, Sustainable & Specific

Have some extra weight to lose? Make small and sustainable changes to your exercise regime.

Examples include:

• 10 minutes walk after dinner
• Take two flights of stairs 
• Walk out for dinner instead of drive

Be specific:

• 10 minutes walk after dinner - 3 times a week
• Take two flights of stairs - 4 times a week
• Walk out for dinner instead of drive - 2 times a week 

To track your progress, use a calendar. Do not be ambitious. Start with one item on your action plan per week. 

*This advice is suitable for the general population and people with extra weight to lose. If you are obese, stairs climbing may result in too much impact on your joints, opt for daily walks until sufficient weight is lost. 

GO BROWN!

Try replacing white rice with BROWN RICE and white bread with WHOLEMEAL BREAD. This does wonders for your blood sugar and keeps you full longer.

*This tip is suitable for the general population, diabetics, pre-diabetes and people with some extra weight to lose.
