GET DIGITAL SCALES
You will eventually want to monitor your weight loss and use bathroom scales. You may want kitchen scales at some stage too. I highly recommend digital scales, because there is no guess work, when the scales come to a conclusion, they don’t change. You can jump on the scales ten times and get the same weight to within 100 grams (one fifth of a pound). There is no flexibility in reading the scales, lean forward gain a kilo, lean backward and lose a kilo. It is worth the investment.
HAVE A BACKUP PLAN
You will need to plan what you will do when you come home hungry and tired and you just can't think about a creative healthy plan. Think about three easy options you can make in a short time. You will also need a plan of what to eat when you are just hungry and need something now. Suggestions later...
Backup plan for eating out.
Agree where you will dine and what will be your choice when you get there.
Chicken schnitzel, chips and salad is not acceptable.
Chicken salad, no creamy or Caesar dressing, no chicken skin, nothing fried.
Don’t eat the bread roll or don’t eat all of it, or don’t butter it.
No chips. Not one chip.
No cheese.
What will you drink? Coke Zero or water. Tea/coffee (not cappuccino and not sugar added).
ALCOHOL
Alcohol is kilojoule/calorie heavy, avoid it. Red wine is good to reduce your blood pressure, but still comes with kilojoules/calories.
Drink water, sugar-free drinks.
