🎉 New Year, New You? Here’s a Diet Tip You’ll Love! 🥗
If losing weight tops your resolution list, you’re not alone. The NHS has a tasty tip to make your meals more satisfying and keep you on track! Drumroll, please… Protein is your new best friend! 🎊
Why protein? It’s not just for gym buffs or bodybuilders. Protein keeps you full longer, provides energy, and supports muscle growth and tissue repair. It’s the body’s essential building block! 💪 So whether you’re into beans, pulses, fish, eggs, or lean meats, make sure you’re adding a bit to every meal.
But wait, there’s more to balance than just protein:
🥬 Veggies: Pack in the greens! Make sure they fill half your plate for that fibre boost.
🍞 Carbs: Opt for wholegrains and keep them under a third of your meal.
🐟 Fish: Enjoy fish twice a week, with oily options like salmon for those omega-3s.
🥛 Dairy: Go for lower-fat and sugar versions to keep those bones strong.
🥥 Oils & Spreads: Choose unsaturated fats like olive oil, and keep spreads light.
💧 Hydration: Aim for 6 to 8 cups of fluid daily to keep the body hydrated and function at its best.
The NHS also notes that reducing your daily calorie intake by around 600kcal can aid weight loss. That’s roughly 1,900kcal per day for men and 1,400kcal for women. Remember, balance is key.
So, here’s to a healthier, happier you in 2026! 🎉 For more detailed advice, you might want to chat with your GP.
