  Eat a healthy diet, which incorporates sugar-free cereals, lean meat, such as chicken or fish, and five servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Avoid fried and fast foods and switch to skimmed milk rather than full, fat or semi-skimmed. Keep a note of the calories you are consuming on a daily basis. Read the nutritional information on food packaging and keep a food diary. Aim to reduce your intake of calories by between 300 and 500 per day if you are currently overweight, but avoid eating less than 1500 calories a day.

  Drink a pint of water 15 minutes before every meal. This acts as an appetite suppressant by making you feel fuller.

  Increase your activity levels. If you do not usually exercise, spend the first week of your weight loss plan practicing stretches and gentle exercise, such as walking, every day to prepare your body. In the second week of your weight loss plan, increase your activity levels by practicing cardiovascular exercises, such as cycling, swimming, jogging or aerobics at least three times a week.
