The trouble for some is cheese, milk and vegetable spread are not always something people eat and to get 2-3 serves a day having more choices to get plant sterols from like the new Jalna Proheart Yoghurt makes it easier with more choices.

It tastes great and is in a cute tub that looks strong enough to carry in you bag to work for a snack. Was not the cheapest yoghurt.

Check it out and let me know what you think of the taste and price?

I think you should only drink non diet softdrink occasionally if it is one of your favourite foods. Otherwise give it a miss and stick to your favourites if you can not have them all the time.

It tasted a little less syrupy than real pepsi but not as fake as pepsi max so the calories are like the taste 30% less.

Remember this is not a diet softdrink treat it like real soft drink at 100 calories a can and do not drink it daily.

I would love to hear what you think about reduced sugar vs sugar free? did you like the taste?

1 Do not calorie bargain

Calorie bargaining means to do more than your normal weekly exercise when you eat or drink more calories from Extras foods than you normally do. An example would be 20min walking, 15min jogging and 10min running to burn off an extra glass of wine. Calorie bargaining is great because you can enjoy your lifestyle with out gaining weight and feeling guilty. Remember you can do this a little like once a week but its not a magic ticket to eat what you want. It also gives you the ability to stick to healthy eating most of the time.

2 Stop drinking alcohol

I always see people stop their favourite foods which is the last thing you should do.  Cutting down on excess calories from non healthy foods is always important when trying to manage your weight, but having none of your favourite foods ever again is not sustainable. Moderation is key to weight loss so try and have less not none.

3 Do not use the scales

People who use the scales (even though they will fluctuate up and down a kilogram daily with food and fluid) know when they are regaining or losing. This helps be motivated when losing weight and aware when regaining. Taking action when you are 1kg above your goal weight in weight maintaenace is easy, but with no scales you may gain 5kg before your clothes let you know. Also weighting weekly helps you know if you can stay on auto pilot in your lifestyle or you need to add some focus again for a while.

The last thing we want to do at the Nutrition Experts is tell you to stop your favourite foods. If you are struggling to find a balence though or want to know how to calorie bargain for your metabolism we would love to help you out face to face.

1. Alcohol

2. TV Watching

3. Sleep deprivation

At Nutrition Experts we find sleep and alcohol can easily get in the way of our good intentions.

Alcohol is something that truly is some peoples favourite food and non is not always the answer. We often see people calorie bargain there alcohol especially on more social weeks to help keep their lifestyles.

Sleep is a precious thing and sleep hygiene (sounds funny) can help you improve your quality if you are pressed to get to bed earlier.

Choice magazine this week had a strong opinion on multivitamins and the million dollar industry being a scam.

For many healthy people food alone is more than enough. However if you are eating less than 1200-1500 calories a day to try and lose weight you may not be getting enough from food and a multivitamin could be a good idea.

I normally suggest a general multi from Blackmores or Centrum (better value) and no need to take mega doses or expensive brands.

You are unlikely to feel like you have drunk to much coffee or you are bouncing around. It is more a good idea to cover your bases and ensure you are getting enough nutrients while dieting. It shows how important it is to eat healthier when trying to lose weight as you have less food to get your nutrition from, especially if you decide to cut out a food group for a while (not advised)

In general supplements are for those who are deficient in a nutrient or are unable to eat normally.
