A nutritionist has lifted the lid on what actually works when it comes to losing weight and keeping it off, saying there are 'five basic rules' that must be followed.
Losing weight and sticking to a healthier lifestyle can be tricky, because it's often difficult to maintain and often people find they end up putting the pounds back on once again.
But Guna Bilande, who specialises in helping overweight people undergo total lifestyle transformations, says simplicity is key for living a healthy and balanced life.
She explained: “Most people generally know how to live healthily, but life gets in the way. This is why we need to keep things simple.”
Here are her five top tips for losing weight and keeping it off, as reported by Nottinghamshire Live.
Guna's first piece of advice is to make sure every meal follows the same guidelines, starting with 25 percent of the plate being lean protein like chicken or eggs.
Half should be dedicated to vegetables, and the rest can be made up of complex carbohydrates such as potato, rice or pasta.
She added: “Lean protein is really important in the diet because it helps to build and repair muscle, and keeps you feeling fuller for longer, therefore promoting fat loss.”
It's easy to just order a takeaway after a long day at work, especially if you haven't got any food in the house.
But doing some simple meal prepping ensures that there's always something healthy to tuck into, according to Guna.
She said: “If you are making a dish of food, always prepare more than you need. That way you can box up the leftovers and put them in the fridge or freezer for another day. This works with everything from salads or soups for lunch to casseroles or at least stock for dinner.
“This will stop you from reaching for

Adam B. Vary Senior Entertainment Writer SPOILER ALERT: This story discusses major plot developments, including the ending, of “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” currently playing in theaters.

Mangold inherited the film from director Steven Spielberg, who had been developing the project for three years with screenwriter David Koepp. When Mangold took over, he and the Butterworth started effectively from scratch, crafting a story in which Harrison Ford’s titular archeologist and Nazi puncher contends with his own age and irrelevance while chasing after the Antikythera, a mysterious device with the power to find fissures in time, created by the ancient Greek mathematician and inventor Archimedes.
