Can Weight Loss Be Easy?
Weight loss doesn’t have to be difficult, yet it has to be both healthy and sustainable. What’s the point in a crazy crash diet if the kilos pile back on a few months later? The world of weight loss tips and tricks can be a lot to navigate, especially at the beginning.
Have you been trying to shift those kilos, and the weight just won’t budge? You’re likely missing some key strategies to fat loss, and need to tidy up your routine. The Mayo Clinic states that consistency with a balanced diet and plenty of movement is the best plan for weight loss.
Discover the best ways to lose weight fast, especially if you’re new to weight loss and don’t know where to start. Take it from us at PC Laboratories, the proof is in the (lack) of pudding!
What Is Blocking You From Losing Weight?
It is often the simple things that stand in the way of you and your dream body shape. We may think that we are doing everything to lose weight, when in fact there can be little things tripping us up. It’s time for an honest evaluation. Are you doing any of the following:
- Skipping meals- this often leads to excess snacking or bingeing later in the day, and less awareness of caloric intake.
- Adding sauces to everything- it may seem harmless to add some mayonnaise or oil to your meals, but do you know how many calories you’re adding?
- Sitting all day- your body is meant to move! Not only is this terrible for posture, but sitting all the time lowers your energy expenditure for the day.
- Portion control- it is very much about what you eat, but also how much! Try reading the labels on food and using a calorie tracker for even a short time. This will give you an idea of what’s really in your food, so you can get on with just enjoying your meals.
6 Strategies For Success
Walking
The 10,000 steps a day is a valid way to support weight loss. Aim for a minimum of 8-10,000 steps daily, and start smaller if you need to. If you can only handle a 10-15-minute walk, start there and gradually increase the duration and pace. It’s progress over perfection.
Add Volume To Meals
By volume, we mean low-calorie, high-fibre and high-water-content foods. This includes adding spinach, lettuce, rocket and cabbage to your meals to ‘bulk’ them out. This helps us to feel fuller for longer, plus the extra fibre is great for our gut health.
Up The Protein
Protein is essential! The amino acids support our muscle growth and recovery, plus help with satiety. If you feel full and satisfied after a meal, there’s less chance of snacking on junk later. Our favourite protein snack? The ProBurn Protein is packed with Collagen, Carnitine and Green Tea for fat loss support.
Build Muscle
The greater our muscle mass is, the more calories we burn. It’s a serious metabolism hack, meaning that we burn more even while just sitting down.

Social Connection
Maintaining a healthy, active social life is an underrated aspect of staying a healthy weight. Overeating is associated with depression and poor mental health, both of which can be made worse with social isolation. Phone a friend for a chat, take the dog for a walk or meet someone for a healthy smoothie.
