Eat and still lose weight

Cut kilojoules

Want a fast, effective weight-loss plan minus the hunger? Stick to a daily intake of 7300 kJ. Or amp up you weight loss by ditching the optional snacks for an intake of 6620 kJ.

Stay hydrated

Reach out for a cold glass of water when you feel thirsty. It keeps you energised, improves your workouts and makes you feel fuller. As there’s a link between dehydration and a reduced metabolism, researchers from the University of Utah in the US believe being hydrated may help you burn fat faster.

Add protein

Your body breaks down each gram of protein you eat into individual amino acids, taking time and energy to digest. Adding protein to a meal not only boosts your metabolism, it will keep you feeling fuller longer.
