10 tips to help you lose 5-10 pounds this February
1. Ditch the SUGAR!
Reducing your added sugar intake is one of the FASTEST ways to blast tummy fat, reduce your calorie intake, boost energy levels, improve your skin and drop excess weight.
There are plenty of sweet treats, recipes and meals on the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge that are just as delicious as your favourite sugar-laden treats. Try our delicious Homemade Twix Bars.
2. Up your protein
Ensure that you are eating enough protein in your meals and snacks. This helps you to feel fuller for longer and gets your metabolism firing. Think nuts, boiled eggs, poached chicken, natural peanut butter, and tofu.
Check out our almond and date protein balls.
3. Cut out processed foods
Cut out processed food and things like white bread, rice and pasta and have whole grain and wholemeal versions instead which are high in fibre and vitamins.
4. MEAL PLAN!
Plan in advance to prevent you from straying off your weight loss path.
Each week the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge gives you your Meal Plan updates. The Challenge informs you what is a great, HEALTHY idea for breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner AND DESSERT!
The Meal Plan clearly highlights the calories per serve, how LONG it takes to prepare and cook as well as other helpful nutritional information.
5. Get support
Join the Healthy Mummy Facebook group and be inspired by the mums weight loss journeys, advice and stories on the page.
6. SQUAT!

7. Keep an eye on your portions
The 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge has done all the hard work for you on portion control. Make sure you browse the app and get to know all the functions that aid you in your weight loss journey.
8. Workout with weights
Working out with weights helps you to build lean muscle mass which burns calories even while you are resting. Weights training in conjunction with cardio workouts will help you to reach your fitness and weight loss goals faster.
9. Drink a Healthy Mummy Smoothie
Our meal-replacement Smoothies have been formulated by leading nutritionists. The smoothie is the perfect solution for a busy mum’s life when trying to lose weight.
Healthy Mummy Smoothies are an excellent source of essential vitamins, minerals, nutrients & important antioxidants.
10. Meal prep
Meal prepping is a major key to success. It cuts out the temptation to reach for unhealthy snacks and meals when it is already prepped ready for you to grab.
Meal prep can be made up of simple tasks like chopping ingredients and storing them in airtight containers, making a batch of healthy snacks from the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge or cooking a double batch of your favourite healthy meal, so you can freeze some for another day.
