Phase 1: the preparation

Tip 1: Measure your weight, BMI and waist circumference

Tip 2: Start losing weight only when it is allowed and you are ready to do so
In some cases, it is better not to start losing weight. For example, if you are pregnant, if you are breastfeeding or if you are over 70-75 years old. If you have an illness or your BMI is over 30, see your doctor first.
Tip 3: Set your target weight
Choose a target weight that is realistic. So not the weight when you were 16 years old. Do you have the desired number of pounds in your mind? Then try to lose weight gradually. Think of half a kilo to 1 kilo per week. This way, losing weight is much more manageable.
Tip 4: Make good resolutions
Make resolutions that will help you stick to your goal. Don’t be surprised by all kinds of temptations, but make a good plan in advance. Where are your pitfalls and how can you resist these bad habits.
Tip 5: Use professional guidance if necessary
Weight consultants and dieticians can help you make lifestyle changes. They think along with you about the necessary adjustments in your diet and how they fit with your needs and preferences.
Tip 6: Seek support from family and friends
Eating and drinking together is sociable. That makes it hard to refuse a pastry or not grab snacks at a party when others do. Ask for help from family and friends who you know will support you. Just say “no” if you do get offered something you don’t want to eat. You don’t have to justify or apologize. You decide what you do and do not eat.
Tip 7: Take a close look at your current diet
An eating pattern is everything you eat and drink on a daily basis. To achieve a healthy weight, you need an eating pattern that suits you. In the first phase, therefore, it is important to scrutinize your current habits.
Phase 2: losing weight
In theory, losing weight is very simple eating and drinking fewer calories (energy) than you consume calories (energy) on a daily basis. To achieve weight loss, however, there are 3 ground rules. All are important: 1: Eat healthy 2: Keep an eye on your weight 3: Exercise a lot
Phase 3: maintaining the target weight
Have you lost weight and are now at your target weight? Class!!! Now you need to persevere. You do that by eating healthy, keeping an eye on your weight and exercising a lot. With these 3 rules, you can be sure that your weight won’t yo-yo.
Healthy eating
With the products from the Disk of Five (Nutrition Center) you get all the important nutrients. Now that you have a healthy weight, you can occasionally eat some products that are not in the Dishes of Five. How much depends on your age and gender.
Keeping an eye on weight
While losing weight, you burned more energy, than you took in. Now you need to balance exactly. Eat just as many calories as you consume. That’s an average of 2,000 calories needed per day for a woman and 2,500 calories per day for a man. However, don’t go back to eating as much as you did before your weight loss. Your body really needs fewer calories when you have lost weight. For example, it takes less energy to keep your body warm and moving. So your body also needs less food to stay balanced. Weighing is the way to check that your weight stays right. It is enough to step on the scale once a week. Always at the same time of day. If your weight goes up, your energy balance is not right. Try to eat healthier and less and keep exercising.
Lots of exercise
Exercise and sports keep your muscles and joints flexible. It helps you lose or maintain weight. You must do at least 30 minutes a day of intense exercise/sports. You get more energy and feel fitter. Lots of exercise/sports is good for body and mind.
