It’s simple, a healthy diet and exercise is all it takes. Don’t rely on shakes and fad diets, they just don’t work! Because when you stop dieting, you will struggle to maintain what you have lost. ‘Diet’ comes from the Greek word “diaita” which means “a manner of living”. By definition, your work isn’t finished when you reach your dream weight (Women’s Health, March 2008), you must continue to eat well and exercise to maintain your ideal weight. Make exercise & healthy eating your lifestyle, make it a habit, it’s like brushing your teeth. You may not always enjoy doing it, but you feel so much better afterwards!
