How Long Does It Take to Lose 5 kg?

How Long Does It Take to Lose 5 kg?

Why Patience and Consistency Are Key

Losing weight is rarely as quick and simple as we’d like it to be. If you’re working toward shedding 5 kg, you might be surprised to learn that the journey can take longer than expected. While many people aim for rapid results, the truth is that it’s not just about cutting calories or exercising more. Your brain needs time to adjust, creating new pathways to help you make healthier food choices that lead to lasting results.

Understanding the Challenge

Losing weight isn’t just about numbers on a scale; it’s about changing behaviors and habits that have been ingrained over time. When you decide to make healthier choices, your brain must form new neural pathways, which take time and consistency. These pathways are the connections that help you choose healthier foods, manage portions, and even adjust your emotional responses to food.

This process can take longer than expected, and often, people get discouraged along the way. However, understanding that it’s a gradual process can help keep you motivated, even when you don’t see the immediate results you’re hoping for.

Why Patience Is Key

The weight loss process involves more than just burning fat. It’s about reprogramming the way you think about food. Instead of looking for quick fixes, focus on making sustainable changes that will last. Your brain is a powerful tool, but it needs time to adapt to these new habits.

If you’re looking for lasting results, you must be patient. The key is consistency. Even on days when it feels like progress is slow, know that each healthy decision is strengthening the neural pathways that will make it easier for you to continue down the right path. This means that success doesn’t happen overnight, but it will happen with perseverance.

Supporting Your Journey with Manna Health Products

While mindset and consistency are fundamental to weight loss, there are also tools you can use to make the process smoother and more effective. Manna Health offers a range of products designed to help you on your weight loss journey, especially if you’re following a low-GI eating plan.

8 Smart Weight Loss Strategies

Sustain weight loss habits with these clever tactics If you want to lose weight, you should run on the tried and tested path – limit the amount of calories you eat and increase physical activities. Sustaining a low-calorie diet and exercising consistently is no easy task. Most of us raise the white flag within a few weeks. Before you start another weight loss journey, implement smart strategies that will help you sustain eating and exercise habits. Here are a few clever tactics to consider before tackling those extra kilograms 1. Start where you are at Trying to lose weight can feel overwhelming – there are so many good behaviours to implement and bad ones to let go of. You don’t have to change all your habits all at once. The best way to start is to first, assess where you are at and then take one, small step towards your goal. If you have a mostly sedentary lifestyle, don’t start by running a strenuous 5-km route each day. Start small. Try walking for 5 minutes every day. Celebrate your small victories and soon you’ll be on your way to running fast and far. 2. Identify obstacles What is keeping you from implementing and sustaining healthful habits? Perhaps your struggle to manage stress and find comfort in eating. If you can identify your obstacles, you can find a way to manage them. You could, for example, start journaling, or practice meditation to deal with stress. Managing your stress will help you to not engage in emotional eating. 3. Make weight loss easy If you want to cook healthful meals, rather than using difficult and exotic recipes with ingredients you must order from India or Malaysia or somewhere else far away, try cooking simple and easy meals. If your new habits are easy, you up your chances of sustaining them. Set up your environment so that it is easy for you to keep your new habits. For example, don’t put your running shoes in the back of your closet, rather put them at the door so that you can easily put them on and hit the road. 4. Find your motivation He who knows why he wants to lose weight can bear almost any how. Perhaps you want to improve your overall health or look wonderful in your bikini this summer, whatever your motivation is, make sure it is clearly defined. The rewards of better health or a stunning bikini body will motivate you greatly to keep at it. 5. Enjoy your habits Did you know that your brain remembers pleasurable experiences? You will be more inclined to build behaviours around things that make you happy. Choose fruit and vegetables that you like to eat. Enjoy the flavours and textures of your favourite healthy food. Try to limit eating food that you really dislike, even if it is healthy, rather find a healthy alternative. 6. Do it together Being accountable can help you sustain your habits. Pick people to support you, who will encourage you in positive ways, without shame, embarrassment, or sabotage. We are social creatures, and it is much easier to do difficult things if you don’t go at it alone. 7. Keep track of your habits Keeping track of your habits will help you stick to your new behaviours. Keep a record of all the behaviours you want to establish, and at the end of each day, you mark which ones you succeeded with. Completing a task and checking it off will release more of the hormone dopamine. Dopamine is the motivation molecule that drives you to seek rewards in achieving goals and enables you to take the effort it requires to be successful. The more dopamine you have, the more motivated you will be to stick to your habits. 8. Change your perspective If you want to shake those extra kilograms and keep them off, you should be in it for the long run. Your new habits should become a lifestyle. You likely will have an occasional setback. But instead of giving up entirely after a setback, simply start fresh the next day. Takeaway The best way to lose weight and keep those kilograms off, is to change your lifestyle. Permanently changing what you eat and how you spend your time, is what’s needed for sustained weight loss. Implement clever tactics that will help you sustain your new habits.

Winter Weight Loss: Tips and Tricks

Winter Weight Loss: Tips and Tricks

Soup, stew, and hot chocolate. Winter is never an easy time for weight loss. Winter is a time when many people struggle to maintain their weight due to a variety of factors, including colder weather, shorter days, and less outdoor activity. However, with the right approach, it is possible to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle throughout the winter months. Here are some tips for winter weight loss Stay active Staying active is one of the most important factors in winter weight loss. It can be tempting to hibernate indoors during the colder months, but it is important to get moving to maintain a healthy weight. Even if you cannot go outside as much as you would like, there are still many indoor activities that can help you stay active, such as joining a gym, taking an exercise class, or practising Pilates at home. Find a workout buddy Having a workout buddy can be a great motivator and help keep you accountable. Consider joining a fitness class or gym with a friend, or finding an online workout partner to keep you motivated and on track. Adjust your diet In addition to staying active, adjusting your diet is another key factor in winter weight loss. Winter is a great time to incorporate warm, nourishing foods into your diet, such as soups and stews. Choose lean proteins, such as chicken and fish, and incorporate plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains into your meals. Drink plenty of water It can be easy to forget to drink water during the winter months, but staying hydrated is crucial for weight loss. Drinking water can help reduce your appetite and keep you feeling full, so make sure to drink at least 8 cups of water per day. Avoid sugary drinks Sugary drinks, such as hot chocolate and apple cider, can be tempting during the winter months, but they can also contribute to weight gain. Instead, try drinking herbal tea or flavored water, or make your own healthy hot drinks using natural sweeteners like honey or stevia. Get enough sleep Getting enough sleep is important for weight loss, as lack of sleep can lead to an increase in the hormone ghrelin, which can stimulate appetite. Aim for at least 7-8 hours of sleep per night. Manage stress Stress can also contribute to weight gain, so it is important to find ways to manage stress during the winter months. Try practising deep breathing exercises, or colouring to help reduce stress levels and promote relaxation. Find alternatives to comfort foods Comfort foods can be tempting during the winter months, but they can also be high in calories and contribute to weight gain. Try finding healthier alternatives to your favorite comfort foods, such as baked sweet potatoes instead of French fries, or roasted root vegetables instead of mashed potatoes. Keep a food diary Keeping a food diary can be a helpful tool in weight loss. Write down everything you eat and drink, as well as the amount of calories and nutrients in each food. This can help you identify areas where you can improve your diet and make healthier choices. Stay motivated It is important to stay motivated and positive during your weight loss journey. Set realistic goals for yourself, celebrate your achievements along the way, and remember to be patient and consistent. Stop the cravings Stopping cravings can be a key factor in winter weight loss. Winter can be a time when many people crave comfort foods, but these foods can be high in calories and contribute to weight gain. To stop cravings, try incorporating more protein and fiber into your diet, as these nutrients can help keep you feeling full and satisfied. You can also try using Manna Blood Sugar Support, as it works in a natural way to slowly release the energy from the food you eat, helping you control cravings. In conclusion Winter weight loss requires a combination of healthy eating, regular exercise, and stress management. By staying active, adjusting your diet, drinking plenty of water, avoiding sugary drinks, getting enough sleep, managing stress, finding healthy alternatives to comfort foods, keeping a food diary, and staying motivated, you can achieve your weight loss goals and maintain a healthy lifestyle throughout the winter months. Stop the Cravings and lose weight with Manna Blood Sugar Support Reverses insulin resistance. Helps to balance blood sugar levels. Slows down the uptake of sugar. Assists the body to require less insulin. Prevents cravings

Women and Weight Loss

Weight Management Tips – by Freda Coetzee – May 16, 2025

Women and Weight Loss

Women face unique challenges when it comes to losing weight. A man and woman embark on a weight loss journey together. Are they both driven? Absolutely. Do they both diligently stick to healthy habits? Without a doubt. However, the man is more inclined to see quicker weight loss results compared to the woman. Why is this the case? There are numerous factors that influence weight loss in women. Some of these include:Metabolism: It is common for women to have a higher percentage of body fat and a lower amount of muscle compared to men. This can have an impact on the number of calories you burn while your body is at rest.The effects of pregnancy: Following conception, a woman experiences weight gain and increased body fat. Furthermore, new mothers often struggle to balance exercise and sleep in their busy schedules, both of which are crucial for post-pregnancy weight loss.Menopause: During menopause, women may experience weight gain around their waist as a result of reduced hormone levels and a slower metabolism. Although women face unique challenges when it comes to weight loss, we can still shake off those extra kilos! To lose weight, we need to combine a good workout routine with healthy eating habits. Let’s have a look at what exercise and diet you need to shake off extra weight. Exercise – incorporate resistance training Regular cardiovascular exercise is necessary for maintaining a fit body. We all know how important it is to run, swim, dance or cycle and get your heart pumping. Although cardio activities can effectively reduce body fat, they may also result in a decrease in muscle size, leading to weaker muscles and the appearance of greater weight loss. This is because muscle is denser than fat. However, unlike endurance exercises, research suggests that resistance training not only helps reduce body fat, but also increases muscle size and strength. If you want to lose weight, in the long run, you’d want to incorporate resistance training into your exercise routine. What is resistance training? Resistance training involves engaging in physical activity in which the muscles resist some kind of weight or opposing force in order to make your muscles work harder. Will I bulk up if I do resistance training? Some people, especially women, fear that lifting weights will cause them to bulk up and change their appearance in an undesirable way. However, weight training primarily increases strength, rather than muscle mass. The term “bulky” is more accurately associated with a higher body fat percentage, which is largely affected by nutrition. Consuming more calories than you need result in a bulky appearance. How often and how much should I exercise? Engage in cardio exercise 3-5 times per week for 30-60 minutes per session. Also, incorporate resistance training 2-3 days per week. Can I do resistance training without equipment? Yes, absolutely! There are numerous exercises you can do that don’t require the use of any equipment. Some of these include: push-ups pull-ups squats lunges Eat healthy food Eat lots of fibre Many people add more fibre to their diets when they want to lose weight. This is because fibre helps you feel full for longer. There are a variety of foods that are fantastic sources of fibre and can be incorporated into a well-balanced diet. These include fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, and whole grains. Enjoy nature’s candy When you are looking for something sweet that is packed with vitamins, minerals, and nutrients, then fruit is a great option. A fun way to ensure that you meet your daily quota of fruit is to experiment with fruit at dessert time. You can try coconut cream, lychees and raspberries with a dab of vanilla or grilled peaches sprinkled with shaved almonds. Fruits can be baked, grilled or frozen and they add wonderful flavour and colour to any dish. Add rich flavours to your dishes Use ingredients with pungent smells and sharp flavours. When you, for example, lessen the amount of cheese you use in a meal, you can add sharp cheddar instead of mild cheddar and you’ll still get a bountiful cheesy flavour. Balance your plate A nutritious and satisfying meal does not have to be complex. Simply combining protein, vegetables, and whole grains will do the trick. Increasing the amount of protein and veggies on your plate is a simple way to make your meals more fulfilling. This makes sense, as protein, nutrient-dense produce, and fibre-rich whole grains are effective at satisfying hunger and keeping it at bay. Cut back on added sugar You’ll be surprised to learn how much sugar is added to foods. Eating lots of added sugar significantly contributes to weight gain and can lead to severe health problems, including diabetes and heart disease. High sugar content in food items provides excess calories but lacks essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals, fibre, and protein, which are crucial for a healthy body. Try to limit your intake of sugary foods such as soda, candy, fruit juice, sports drinks, and desserts to aid weight loss and improve overall well-being. Learn how to read food labels so that you can spot added sugar. Takeaway Even though weight loss for women poses some challenges there is much you can do to get in shape and shake off those extra kilos.

6 Easy Tips to Make Eating Healthy Easier

Weight Management Tips – by Freda Coetzee – May 16, 2025

6 Easy Tips to Make Eating Healthy Easier

Meals are getting bigger, and our fancy coffees are being loaded with more and more calories. It seems that getting a healthy meal is becoming harder by the day. But what if there are simple ways to get around this? What if we didn’t have to slave away in the kitchen for hours to be eating healthy? Here’s some good news – eating healthy does not have to be difficult. There are two main objectives you need to achieve in order to lose weight, and they are: Staying within your daily calorie allowance. Always ensuring your blood sugar is stable. Why is this important? Counting calories is obvious. Weight loss is largely done by making sure that you burn more calories in a day than you take in. But balancing your blood sugar levels? What’s that about? Well, high blood sugar levels cause your body to store fat! This happens when we eat food that contains refined carbohydrates or sugar, which causes an increase in blood sugar levels. The body then releases a hormone called “insulin” to counteract this. The insulin then gets the blood sugar levels back to normal by using some of the sugar from the food as energy for immediate use and then stores the rest as fat. So now you know why it is CRUCIAL to make sure your blood sugar levels remain in balance if you want to lose weight… How do I count my calories and balance my blood sugar levels? Here are some secrets for losing weight are just what you need to stay on the straight and narrow… Be smart about planning “What’s for dinner?” should not have to be a scary question that implies the daunting task of spending 3 hours cooking and washing dishes in order to have a single healthy meal. When you have a healthy meal plan that you are working on, it is easy to plan ahead and make sure that you have everything you need to prepare your meals for the next few days. When you already know what you are having as your next meal, and you know that you have all the ingredients for it, then there are no excuses for giving in to a quick trip through the drive-through. This will help you to avoid foods that cause your blood sugar levels to shoot through the roof. Taking one or two Manna Blood Sugar Support tablets with each meal will also help keep blood sugar levels in check. Become portion-conscious Too much of a good thing isn’t always a great thing. Even healthy foods contain calories. You should always be very aware of your portion size. When you are at home, take out your kitchen scale and weigh all your food so that you are constantly aware of what your portions of each food group should look like. This will come in handy when you are somewhere where you don’t have the luxury of a kitchen scale, and you have to trust your eyes in order to remain within your calorie limits. It is also a great way to be able to still enjoy the naughty-food that you love. Some chocolate or a piece of cheesecake every now and then is fine – as long as you keep to a small portion that doesn’t cause your daily calorie count to skyrocket. You can also reduce the weight-gain effect of sweet treats or unhealthy foods by simply taking a Manna Blood Sugar Support tablet along with it so that the sugar in your treat does not cause your blood sugar levels to go haywire. Maintain Balance Everything comes down to balance. The worst thing you can do is to go on a crash diet where you cut down to less than 1000 calories per day and eat nothing but lettuce. Follow a balanced eating plan that you are able to maintain in the long run. You might not lose as much weight in the beginning, but you will steadily lose weight over time and in the end, you will have lost more weight overall. Also, the weight that you lost on a crash diet always manages to find its way back. Follow the Manna Diet for a balanced, sustainable eating plan. It works best when used along with the Manna Blood Sugar Support and the Manna F.A.T Way to Go tablets. Share the experience It’s not fun being the only one at the table not digging into a giant burger with a heap of fries on the side. That is why it is important to have some form of support. It is a fact that losing weight is much easier when you are not doing it alone. Even if your partner or the rest of your household are not trying to lose weight, it is beneficial for everybody to follow a healthy eating plan. Get them psyched-up about healthy eating and have them join you in your way of eating. Even if you find just find one other friend or family member who eats healthy with you, it is a great way to keep each other motivated and not feel like the odd-one-out. Accept slip-ups, but don’t make them a habit You can plan all you want, and stick to your plan 99% of the time, but chances are that you are going to give in to the temptations of a big, cheesy pizza at some point. And that’s fine. Don’t beat yourself up about it. Accept the fact that it happened, get back to your plan, and move on. If you do, however, find yourself indulging in something you shouldn’t, grab a Manna Blood Sugar Support tablet. It helps to lower the GI of the food you eat by slow-releasing the sugar into your bloodstream. In doing so, it stabilizes your blood sugar levels and decreases the amount of fat-storing that takes place while eating something unhealthy.

7 Tips to Lose Weight for Good

Why does weight always find its way back after a diet? There are numerous quick-fix diets out there that can help shake off a few kilograms. The problem is making sure that weight does not come back again… There is no doubt that many of these diets work very well, but the majority of them are not sustainable in the long haul. They are great for shedding some weight quickly, but how does one prevent this weight from coming back again? The simple answer: A sustainable healthy lifestyle, and some tips to lose weight. In order to create a sustainable healthy lifestyle, some changes have to be made and old habits have to be replaced with new ones. It can be overwhelming and the hardest part is usually just getting started. Luckily there are some tips to lose weight that can help. So here are 7 easy tips to lose weight for good and get you on the right track… Tip 1: Steer Clear of Processed Foods Processed foods are filled with nasty refined carbohydrates and sugars that are bad for weight loss as well as your overall health. Always make sure to scan the ingredients section on the label before buying some snacks or drinks. Be very careful when it comes to diet or sugar-free products just because they don’t contain sugar. They are often packed with chemicals that can be just as bad for you as sugar. Tip 2: Go Gluten Free This doesn’t mean you should become one of those people who go around telling people that you don’t eat gluten even before you tell them your name. But cutting gluten out of your diet is very helpful for losing weight. This means that you reduce the number of unhealthy carbs you eat, which helps avoid blood sugar spikes and its other harmful side effects. Tip 3: Protein for Breakfast Swapping out your muffin for some bacon and eggs can help with something called “leptin sensitivity” in the body’s cells. To get to the point, it helps reduce body fat. Tip 4: Don’t Stress That might seem a lot easier said than done. But when we do things we enjoy with family or friends or use some relaxation techniques to calm us down it helps reduce stress hormones in the body. This reduces fat storage in the cells. Tip 5: Drink Plenty of Water I don’t even have to go into why you should drink water, but I can say that you should try and make sure it is purified water. Tap water is good if that is all you can get, but even better is drinking bottled water that has been purified or getting a purification system installed at home to avoid the chemicals they use to clean our tap water.

Top 10 Tips for Weight-Loss

Before running off and jumping on the first crash diet available, take a moment to consider a few key questions… Is this 2-week diet really the answer to the problem?Is it sustainable?Will it maintain and promote overall health? The problem is that these quick diets usually aren’t effective in keeping weight off in the long run and can often result in other ailments due to the impact on the immune system. What is the best thing to do? To lose weight and make sure it stays off, get into the habit of following a healthy, balanced eating plan with some tips for weight loss. It might not result in as much initial weight-loss as a crash diet, but in a few months’ time, you will be glad you weren’t short-sighted. The top 10 tips for weight loss and keeping it off: 1. Eat Pulses Pulses are things like lentils, peas, and chickpeas. They are excellent for weight loss and are classified as superfoods. They help you to stay fuller after a meal, which means you can cut back on calories by not giving to cravings and snacks between meals. 2. Stress less This might be easier said than done, but it’s not that hard when you put your mind to it. Start a relaxing hobby, take up a sport or partake in fun activities with friends and family – all are great ways to reduce your stress levels. Just make sure that these activities don’t revolve around food! 3. Weigh the smart way. The importance of knowing your weight is often underestimated. It’s best to weigh yourself twice a week – once on Monday and then again on Friday. This helps you keep accurate track of what is happening to your weight and also acts as motivation for sticking to your eating plan in the week and over the weekend. 4. Eat more to lose weight As soon as you start looking at weight loss in terms of what you’re not allowed to eat, you’re setting yourself up to fail. Focus on the things that you’re allowed to eat and that you enjoy. Explore opportunities to include more of these in your eating plan and create a diet that you can enjoy. 5. Choose the right carbs The basic rule for carb consumption is that you should go for unrefined carbs and cut out refined carbs. This means that about 20% – 30% of your diet will still be carbs but deciding on the right carbs is crucial. You can have rice, but you may have to give up dessert that day. Have a beer, but then have a salad with your meal. It’s all about managing your carbs in a way that suits you and your diet. 6. Be a food snob Be picky when you eat. If you don’t like something after the first bite, don’t force yourself to finish it. Don’t waste your calories on something that you are not going to enjoy. 7. Have a Plan B Exercise routine No, this is not a new workout program. You should always have a backup exercise program that you can do if you were not able to complete your normal routine. It should be something that you can do at home so that bad weather doesn’t become an excuse. Ideally, it should be something that doesn’t need too much equipment and can be easily completed within 30 minutes. 8. Mindfulness matters Be mindful when you eat. You will enjoy what you eat a lot more and also eat less in the end. Here are four steps to mindful eating: Eat sitting down. You tend to make less healthy choices when you’re standing. Eat your food off of a plate, rather than out of a bag or box. Eat only when you are truly physically hungry. Not for emotional reasons. Eat without distractions such as the TV, a tablet, a smartphone or a computer. 9. Keep an eating journal It might sound silly but we never truly realize how much we actually eat in a day until we see it written down. It can also help you identify why you haven’t met your weight loss expectations and is a great tool for keeping you mindful of your eating habits. 10. Get Weight Smart Understanding weight loss, weight gain, healthy living and how best to incorporate positive lifestyle choices into your day-to-day life is crucial.

20 Super Easy Weight Loss Tips

Weight Management Tips – by Freda Coetzee – May 16, 2025

20 Super Easy Weight Loss Tips

Not all weight loss tips and techniques work the same for everybody. That is because nobody is exactly the same. Some people love to exercise hard and get results. Others prefer to take it slow and steady and lose weight gradually over a longer period. We will be looking at 20 easy weight loss tips. Here are 20 easy-to-follow weight loss tips to get that summer body ready! Tip 1: Drink enough water One of the biggest pitfalls of dieting is mistaking thirst. Before you have a snack, drink a glass of water to see if the craving goes away. Often times we become peckish after supper and eat a high-calorie snack before bedtime. This is very dangerous since we don’t work off the energy it provides, and the energy is turned into fat. So we can see that it’s very important to stick to low calorie or better yet, avoid snacking at night completely. Tip 2: Enjoy your favourite foods You don’t have to completely stop eating the food you love. You just have to make sure that you do so in moderation. Simply cut down on your portion size of unhealthy food and snacks, and try not to eat them too often. Tip 3: Eat several small meals during the day It is often difficult to manage your calories when you eat 2 or 3 big meals per day, as you become very hungry between meals and often overeat. To make it easier on yourself, eat 4 or 5 smaller meals a day. Tip 4: Include protein in every meal Protein fills you up much more than carbs do, and also keep you feeling full for longer. It is also better for burning fat, as well as helping with muscle building. You can eat food like dairy products, nuts, lean meat, and seafood. Tip 5: Spice it up Research has shown that adding spices or chillies to your food can help you eat less. The reason for this is because it stimulates your taste buds, which makes you feel more satisfied. Tip 6: Stock up with healthy, convenient foods It is a lot easier to eat healthy if you only have healthy food in your house. You should also make sure that it is easy-to-make food so that you don’t buy takeaways when you don’t have time to cook. Tip 7: Swap out pasta for some vegetables When you eat fewer carbs and more veggies, you cut down on calories and make it easier to lose weight Tip 8: Always eat breakfast Although you might think that skipping breakfast is a good way to cut down on calories, but in the long run it can actually be a bad choice. When you don’t eat breakfast, you can become hungry before lunch and have snacks that will get you calorie count soaring! Tip 9: Include fibre in your diet Fibre helps with digestion, lowers cholesterol and aids in weight loss. Good sources of fibre include oatmeal, whole grains, fruits and veggies, and beans. Tip 10: Chuck out fattening foods When your cupboards are stocked with unhealthy foods, you make it easier for yourself to give in to temptation. When you want a snack, go to the shop and get a small, once-off snack instead of a whole bunch of them. Tip 11: Lose weight slowly Weight loss is not something that happens overnight. You should focus on losing small amounts at a time. It might take a little bit longer than you want it to, but when you expect too much too soon, you might get discouraged and stop trying. Tip 12: Weigh yourself once a week Studies have shown that people who weigh themselves regularly tend to lose weight more successfully, as you know where you stand relative to your goal weight. It is recommended that you weigh yourself once a week to track your progress. Tip 13: Get enough sleep When you don’t get enough sleep, you feel tired and don’t have energy. When you don’t have energy, your body craves food in order to get some energy. Then you tend to eat all the wrong things and consume too many calories. It’s that simple. Tip 14: Understand portion sizes It is important to understand how big your portions should be. Use a kitchen scale in order to get an idea of what the right amount of food is for your diet. When it comes to snacks; split it up into portions instead of eating it straight from the package. Tip 15: Eat more fruits and veggies When you eat the right foods, you can afford to eat more of it. Fruits and veggies will also help you feel fuller, and supply you with vitamins and fibre that you need. Tip 16: Limit alcohol to weekends Alcoholic drinks can quickly add up in your daily calorie count. Since alcohol is very high in calories, you should try and steer clear of it as far as possible. A good way to do this is to only allow yourself a drink or two per day on weekends. Tip 17: Chew sugarless gum When you feel peckish or want a sugary snack, try some sugarless gum instead. A lot of times when we think we are hungry, we are just bored and want something to nibble on. Plus, it will make your breath minty fresh! Tip 18: Keep a food diary When keeping track of what you eat every day makes you more aware of the calories that you take in and might help you think twice before going off-track. Tip 19: Celebrate success – but not with food! Set yourself some smaller goals at certain milestones along the way to your goal weight. But don’t go and mess up the hard work with an entire pizza! Instead, buy yourself something nice like that pair of shoes you wanted or a new DVD. Tip 20: Manna Blood Sugar Support Stabilizing your blood sugar levels plays a vital role in losing weight. It helps to prevent the insulin from storing sugar from the food you eat as fat in the body’s cells. By taking the Manna Blood Sugar Support supplement with each meal, it can help to control blood sugar levels, curb cravings, and suppress appetite without any side effects.

The 7 Weight Loss Mistakes We Make

Losing weight seems simple. Cut calories, eat healthier, and exercise more. Yet we still struggle to shake off those extra kilograms. While this basic concept is not wrong at all, there is a bit more to it. There are a few more basics that you should consider so that you don’t make weight loss mistakes. Here are the 7 basic weight loss mistakes we make which cause us to struggle with weight loss… Cardio is Your Primary Exercise When we think of exercising for weight loss, we immediately think of cardio. While things like running and cycling definitively have their place in losing weight, they are not always the most effective. Combine cardio with weight training or resistance training for more effective calorie burning and weight loss. Abusing Proteins Protein in your diet is important, but not if you have too much. Excess protein gets stored as fat. So just make sure to keep moderation in mind. Skimping On Breakfast Not eating a big breakfast or skipping out on breakfast altogether might seem like a good way to reduce your daily calorie intake, but it will do more harm than good. You are more likely to become very hungry before lunchtime which leads to overeating at your next meal, or cheat-snacking on unhealthy foods. When you Don’t Eat Before Exercising You might think that you are making it easier for yourself to burn extra calories when you don’t eat before you exercise, but it doesn’t work like that. it is important to eat something healthy before you exercise so that you have enough energy to put in a proper workout, which will make you burn more calories in the end. Not Getting Enough sleep. Getting enough, quality sleep is vital. Get into a healthy sleeping routine by going to bed at the same time each night, and getting up at the same time every morning. Always Following The Same Exercise Program In order to get the maximum benefit out of your exercise, you should change up your routine from time to time. It doesn’t mean you have to change all the exercises you do, just start by varying the frequency intensity, and time of each exercise. Ignoring You Weight Not keeping track of how your weight loss is improving means that you don’t know if you are actually improving. Do weekly check-ins and track your weight and measurements in order to see if your weight loss efforts are working. What we recommend to avoid weight loss mistakes… A healthy lifestyle regarding diet and exercise.

6 Secrets For Losing Weight In Summer

Losing weight is not all about eating salads and running on a treadmill. There are simple things we can do to boost the effectiveness of our weight loss efforts… The biggest trap that we all fall into when losing weight is that we want to lose it all NOW. When we haven’t lost 10kg within the first week we feel like we have failed. So shift your mindset to a healthy, sustainable lifestyle and away from crash diets. Here are 6 diet secrets that can help keep you motivated and help you lose weight… You can boost your metabolism. A slow metabolism shouldn’t be an excuse for not losing weight. Increased cardio and weight/resistance training is a great way to make sure that your metabolism is working more effectively. You can be fat and fit. It is a common misconception that you are healthy when you are thin. You might be skinny but unhealthy, or on the other end of the scale, you might be overweight but in great health. So what it comes down to is that is not all about appearance. Rather strive to be healthier instead of looking good in a swimsuit. Losing weight quickly helps you keep it off? The opposite is actually true. Slow and steady wins the race. Many people you know will be able to tell you that they quickly regained the weight they lost with a crash diet. Exercising more doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll lose more weight. Exercise is vital to weight loss because it helps you burn calories. But it is not always to say that you will lose weight with even more exercise. Often 2-hour sessions in the gym might be doing you more harm than good. It is best to get about 30 minutes of dedicated exercise per day. Sleep more to weigh less. Most of us don’t realise the importance of getting enough quality sleep. Healthy weight loss can be linked directly to a good night’s rest. So too can weight gain be traced back to not getting enough sleep. Eating chocolate can trim your waistline. What? Chocolate for weight loss? Well, dark chocolate, yes. The higher levels of cocoa and lower sugar content of dark chocolate can help you manage your blood sugar levels, and it also contains a good amount of antioxidants. This can help improve your weight loss efforts. Balance your blood sugar for better weight loss: Yes, keeping your blood sugar levels under control should be your first and biggest step to shaking off the kilograms. But how can you balance your blood sugar levels? The most effective way to control blood sugar levels is by making healthy lifestyle changes that are sustainable in the long-run. So what positive lifestyle changes should I make? Diet Eating healthy and maintaining a healthy weight. Whether you are at a healthy weight or not, follow the Manna Diet, available as a FREE e-book. Exercise Increase your physical activity, even just by doing 30 minutes of exercise 4 times a week. Hydration Drink plenty of water, the rule of at least 8 glasses a day is a good and easy one to follow.

8 Tips to Make Weight Loss Easier

Weight Management Tips – by Freda Coetzee – May 16, 2025

8 Tips to Make Weight Loss Easier

Weight loss doesn’t have to be hard. Weight loss and dieting are often overcomplicated. At the end of the day, weight loss comes down calories taken in vs. calories burnt. But nobody wants to count calories all day long… So how can we get away with not counting your calories the whole time? Well, just follow these 8 easy weight loss tips… Swop out that grain-based breakfast for some eggs Eating protein, especially eggs, for breakfast in the place of bread can help lose weight. Not only do eggs contain fewer calories than bread, they also help keep you fuller for longer, which means you also eat fewer calories when it comes to lunch and dinner. Eggs are some of the healthiest food with high amounts of protein. They are very versatile in terms of the dishes you can make with them. Also, they can easily be prepared in 5-10 minutes which makes them great for breakfast! Use Smaller Plates This is a trick that can help you think that you are eating more. You might think that this is silly because you already know that you are trying to trick yourself, right? Well, scientists and psychologists have been studying this for years now, and it does, in fact, seem to work even if you know that you are trying to trick your own brain. So it seems that it is better to have a full, small plate than a half-empty big plate when you are trying to lose weight. Eat More Protein to Burn Fat and Build Muscle Protein is great for weight loss as it makes you feel fuller faster, all the while containing fewer calories than carbohydrates. Protein is also great for burning fat, and it can help you build muscle mass faster when combined with exercise. The added muscle tissue can help you burn even more fat, as it is “metabolically active” which means that it burns a small amount of calories, even at rest. Eat Foods With a Low Energy Density and Lots of Fiber Eating food that has low energy but high fibre count can help you stay fuller for longer, whilst consuming fewer calories. These are typically foods like fruits and veggies and should be consumed alongside protein-rich foods. Minimize Carbs Seeing that carbs are generally the foods that contain the most calories, taking these out of your diet is a great way to bring down your daily calorie count. To do this, cut out the big carb sources from your diet like sugars, sweets, sodas, as well as starchy foods like bread, pasta, potatoes, etc. Get Plenty Of Sleep Sleep plays a massive part in regulating hormones, which in turn help regulate the body functions. As soon as the body is not functioning as it should, weight gain and other health issues can sneak in. This is why you should make sure to be disciplined with your bed-time routine to make sure that you get your needed rest. Replace Your Cooking Fats with Coconut Oil Coconut oil has been shown to have properties that can help reduce appetite and increase fat burning. It is loaded with fats called Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs). These fatty acids get metabolized differently compared to other fats, as they go straight to the liver where they are either used for energy or turned into ketone bodies. Take Manna Blood Sugar Support with every meal Take Manna Blood Sugar Support with your normal meals to control blood sugar levels, cravings, and to suppress appetite. This, along with a healthy balanced diet like the Manna Diet can help you get through the day without feeling hungry or craving the wrong things.

What NOT to do if you want to lose weight

Weight Management Tips – by Freda Coetzee – May 16, 2025

What NOT to do if you want to lose weight

We all know that we should exercise and eat healthy if we want to lose weight… But what about the things that we should NOT do? These can have an equally big effect on our weight loss as the positive changes we make. So what are the things we should NOT be doing in order to lose weight? Here are 10 of the biggest diet-killers… Relying on Crash Diets Thinking that this is a shortcut to losing weight is one of the worst things we can do. It might help to lose plenty of weight within a few days or weeks, but crash diets can often be dangerous to our health. Also, the weight that is lost during a crash diet usually finds its way back very quickly, as crash diets are not a sustainable way of keeping to a target weight. Skipping Breakfast Like they always say, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. While you may think this is an easy way to cut calories, it will more often than not leave you feeling hungry later in the day which then usually leads to overeating. Not Counting Snack-calories You might be very diligent when it comes to counting the calories in your meals, but if you forget to count the calories in your snacks and cool drinks, they can easily add up and prevent weight loss. Not Snacking at All Whilst mindless snacking can be a big barrier to your weight loss, not snacking at all can have similar effects. Eating healthy snacks between meals can help to keep your metabolism going and can prevent you from overeating at meal-time because the time span between meals gets too long for you. Going Low-Fat It is important to realize that low-fat isn’t the same as low-calorie. This is not a free pass to eat an extra helping and you should make sure that you keep track of what you eat carefully. Drinking Too Many Calories We often forget that there are calories in cocktails, beers, wine, energy drinks, and cold drinks. These are called “empty calories” as they do not offer any real nutritional value, but ramp up your daily calorie count. Not Drinking Enough Water This is an easy mistake to fix, and you should stick to the golden rule of at least 8 glasses of fresh water each day. Ditching Dairy Many people think dairy is bad for you because it contains fat, but the fact of the matter is that these are good fats and can actually help you lose weight. Dairy also has many other health benefits as it is high in calcium. To go, too often The drive-through can be your downfall. Yes, it is convenient. Yes, you are tired after work. But is it worth it? Fast-foods are packed full of calories and can send your diet spiralling. If you do catch yourself at the drive-through, opt for the healthier options with grilled chicken and salad – no fries! But it is best to avoid it altogether as you might be overcome by the temptation as soon as you see the pretty pictures on the menu! Setting Ridiculous Goals Don’t tell yourself you want to lose 10 kilograms in a week – it is never going to happen. You are only going to end up discouraged and disappointed. A realistic goal is about 1 – 2 kilograms per week, and through the right diet and exercise, this can be achieved. How can I control cravings and lose weight? Cravings don’t have to ruin your diet. You can conquer them with Manna Blood Sugar Support and a low-carb diet. If you struggle with food cravings, try the Manna Diet. It lends itself to a low-carb roadmap that can help you eliminate the bad carbs and sugar from your diet and beat the cravings. By taking the Manna Blood Sugar Support supplement with each meal, it will help to control blood sugar levels, which in turn will curb cravings and help to suppress appetite.

Diet Trends that Actually Work: Separating Fads from Facts

Diet Trends that Actually Work: Separating Fads from Facts

In the ever-evolving world of health and wellness, new diet trends seem to pop up faster than the latest TikTok dance. From keto to intermittent fasting, veganism to juice cleanses, the sheer volume of information can be overwhelming and leave you wondering: what actually works? Before we dive into effective dietary approaches, let’s be clear: quick fixes and fad diets rarely stand the test of time. Sustainable weight management and long-term health require an evidence-based approach focused on whole foods, balanced nutrition, and mindful eating habits. With that said, some popular trends do have merit and can be incorporated into a healthy lifestyle. Here are three diet trends that have shown promising results: 1. The Mediterranean Diet: Inspired by the traditional dietary patterns of countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea, this approach emphasizes: Abundant fruits, vegetables, and whole grains: These provide essential vitamins, minerals, and fibre, promoting satiety and gut health. Healthy fats: Olive oil, nuts, and seeds offer monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, supporting heart health and reducing inflammation. Moderate fish and poultry consumption: Lean protein sources provide essential nutrients while limiting saturated fat intake. Limited red meat and processed foods: These are often high in saturated fat and sodium, increasing the risk of chronic diseases. Numerous studies have linked the Mediterranean diet to various health benefits, including weight management, reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, improved cognitive function, and even a lower risk of developing certain cancers. Its focus on fresh, flavorful foods and balanced consumption makes it a sustainable and enjoyable dietary pattern. 2. The Intermittent Fasting (IF) Approach: This method involves cycling between periods of eating and fasting rather than restricting specific food groups. Popular versions include: 16/8 method: Fast for 16 hours and eat within an 8-hour window each day. 5:2 method: Eat normally for five days and restrict calories to 500-600 on two non-consecutive days. While research on IF is ongoing, several studies suggest it can promote weight loss, improve insulin sensitivity, and reduce inflammation. However, it’s essential to choose a method that suits your lifestyle and consult a healthcare professional before starting, especially if you have any underlying health conditions. 3. The Mindful Eating Movement: This approach goes beyond the food itself and focuses on developing a healthy relationship with eating. Key principles include: Paying attention to hunger and satiety cues: Eat when you’re truly hungry and stop when you’re comfortably full. Slowing down and savouring each bite: This mindful approach promotes enjoyment and allows your body to register feelings of fullness. Reducing distractions while eating: Avoid screen time while dining to focus on the taste, texture, and aroma of your food. Identifying emotional eating triggers: Recognize and address stress, boredom, or negative emotions that may lead to unhealthy eating habits. Mindful eating has shown promise in improving weight management, reducing emotional eating, and fostering a more positive relationship with food. It’s not a specific diet but a set of tools that can be integrated into any eating pattern. Remember: These are just a few examples, and the most effective diet is the one you can adhere to consistently. Consult a registered dietitian or licensed nutritionist for personalized guidance tailored to your individual needs and health goals. They can help you navigate the ever-changing dietary landscape and build a sustainable approach to healthy eating. Additional Tips: Focus on whole, unprocessed foods: Prioritize fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein sources, and healthy fats. Limit added sugars and refined carbohydrates: These contribute to empty calories and can negatively impact health. Stay hydrated: Water is essential for overall health and can help manage appetite. Cook more meals at home: This allows you to control ingredients and portion sizes. Enjoy physical activity: Combine healthy eating with regular exercise for optimal health benefits. By focusing on sustainable habits and evidence-based practices, you can navigate the world of diet trends and prioritize your long-term health and well-being. Remember, a balanced and nourishing approach is always the key to sustainable success. Make any diet more effective with the Manna Blood Sugar Support What is Manna Blood Sugar Support?
