Lose weight by cooking instead of buying food

Eat healthily

Cooking your own food at home is a much better way of reaching your weight loss goals quickly, as opposed to eating out or getting takeaways. Preparing your own food means that it is fresh and only the best produce will be used. You can choose which vegetables or meats to purchase and how to prepare them.

Go for fresh!

Takeaways and refined foods that are prepared in advance may contain preservatives, additives, etc., that may not support our weight loss efforts. In addition, we may not know how fresh the products that were used in the preparation of the meal were.

Healthy cooking methods

Remember to use healthy cooking methods such as grilling or boiling as opposed to deep frying foods in large quantities of oil – as this will just increase your calorie count!

Make a fresh salad on the side and try to keep every meal balanced and colourful.

Exercise whilst cooking

A great way to lose weight is to burn calories whilst your food is being cooked. You can, for example, drop and do 10 squats while your food is being grilled or cycle on a stationary bicycle while waiting for your vegetables to steam. Small and simple exercises still help you to burn calories and you will reach your weight loss targets sooner!

Remember that eating healthily and exercising is the key to weight loss afterall!
