7 Eating Tips To Help You Lose Weight and Keep It Off

There are a lot of weight loss articles out there that delve into complex issues like calorie counting and complex carbs versus simple carbs and after a while all the detailed, and often conflicting, information can leave your head spinning round and around.

These articles can make the whole weight loss process seem so overwhelming that many people just give up and don’t even try to lose weight.

But having excess weight is bad for your health. It can lead to an increase in blood pressure, which in turn increases your chances of suffering a stroke. It can also lead to high blood sugar (diabetes), high cholesterol and heart disease.
