Four important ways to help you lose weight:
1. Cut back on sugars and refined carbohydrates
These foods include soft drinks, fruit juice, cakes, biscuits, ice-cream, sorbet, lollies and chocolate. Sugars and starches elevate blood sugar levels, which in turn stimulates secretion of insulin, which is a blood sugar regulator and the main fat storage hormone in your body. When insulin levels go down, your body better utilizes fat for fuel.
Special note for diabetics: Please check with your doctor before making any dietary change.
2. Eat plenty of vegetables and wholegrains
All types of vegetables are nutritious and low-calorie:
Alfalfa sprouts, asparagus, green beans, bok choy, broccoli, brussels sprouts, celery, cabbage, capsicum, carrot, cauliflower, corn, cucumber, eggplant, kale, lettuce, mung beans, mushrooms, peas, pumpkin, radish, silverbeet, spinach, snow peas, sweet potato, squash, tomato, zucchini.
3. A high-protein diet
A high–protein diet keeps you feeling fuller and reduces your desire for snacking. Depending on your calorie intake, shakes can be included as a healthy part of a high-protein and low-fat diet.
Great protein sources include:
- Meat – beef, chicken, pork, lamb
- Fish and seafood – white flesh fish, tuna, salmon, prawns
- Eggs – poached, boiled, scrambled, fried (without fat)
- Legumes – lentils and beans
- Formulite Meal Replacement Shakes
4. Exercise regularly
By exercising regularly, you will burn calories and prevent your metabolism from slowing down, which is a common side-effect of losing weight.
The Heart Foundation recommends:
- Be active on most, preferably all, days every week
- Aim to accumulate 2.5 to 5 hours of moderate intensity physical activity or 1.25 to 2.5 hours of vigorous intensity physical activity each week
- Do muscle-strengthening activities on at least 2 days each week

- Remember to include ‘good’ fats like avocado, nuts & fish oil
- Drink at least 2L of water per day
- Eat mostly whole, unprocessed foods

- Get a good night’s sleep
Always seek the advice of a qualified healthcare professional to guide you and provide further information about healthy diet and exercise to help Formulite deliver great results.
