15 surprising things you DON’T need to do to lose weight

Are you confused about food, fitness, health and weight loss?

Are you on any form of social media?

Scrolling through social media can be a minefield for anyone trying to lose weight and get healthy. There are so many conflicting and confusing messages. Its enough to drive a sane person crazy.

A lot of the sensational headlines were driving me so crazy that I wanted to scream into my computer screen. I wrote this little rant instead.

15 things that you DON’T need to do to lose weight and be healthy.

So, what do you need to do to lose weight and be healthy?

1. Use up more calories than you consume (technical term is a calorie deficit). This is how all weight loss works
2. If you want to make sure the lost weight comes from body fat and not lean muscle, then make sure you consume enough protein and veg in your new calorie budget
3. Move your body often in whatever way you enjoy
4. Do exercise that gets you a little bit out of your comfort zone a couple of times per week
5. Use all of your muscles a couple of times per week
