Drink, Drink, Drink - not only do you need water to prevent thirst, your brain requires it for concentration, your muscles for energy and your hair and skin for beauty! Start early and try to drink 2-3 litres per day.

Food diary

Without a doubt, the best way to lose weight is to adjust your eating habits. First take a look at what you eat on a regular basis. To do this we recommend filling in a food diary for a few days. Ideally record your habits for a couple weekdays and also a weekend day.

People are often surprised at what they actually consume regularly.
