There is no need to do anything drastic with your diet. The idea is to adopt some good habits to lose weight quickly without putting your health at risk. Here’s what you should take into account:

1. Start running in the park

Now it gets dark later, you have plenty of time to get to the park and run or walk for at least half an hour! Make a weekly schedule of jogging or walking and try to follow it. For example, the easiest is to set yourself 2-3 days a week where you know you’ll go to the park to run or walk. Being outdoors is an enjoyable way to be healthy and lose weight, whilst at the same time getting your regular dose of Vitamin D.

2. Eat more vegetables and fruits

Seasonal fruits and vegetables are essential if you want to lose weight! When you are eating each meal, ensure your plate has a quarter of whole grains, quarter of proteins and half of the plate full with vegetables. Vary them as much as possible.

What you can choose: salads of all kinds, spinach, broccoli, radishes, cucumbers, onions, asparagus, peas, cabbage, cauliflower, rhubarb. Go for brightly coloured fruits like strawberries and oranges, which give you more energy.

3. Focus on salads

Experiment with as many types of salads: mixed salads, Chinese cabbage, radicchio, and add as many colourful seasonal vegetables! Therefore, not only will it make more diverse salads, but you give your body more antioxidants. This will help you lose weight in a healthy way.

Tips: Make your own salad dressing and stay away from the trade ones, they are real calorie bombs. Try to focus on healthy dressing ingredients: Dijon mustard, olive oil, apple vinegar, spices.
