Dieting isn’t all about restriction, it means you need to add healthier foods to your diet.
Beans, pulses, fish and eggs are all great sources of energy.
You should also eat more protein because it makes you feel fuller than carbs and fat.
Good sources of protein include chicken breast, tuna, mackerel, salmon, eggs, milk, red lentils, chickpeas, brown bread, nuts and soya.
Keep your protein portion to about the size of your hand.
You also need to be eating less than you are burning, so try to stick to a calorie limit.
On the NHS weight loss plan, the daily calorie allowance is 1,900 for men and 1,400 for women.
However, you can use the BMI calculator to get a personal recommended calorie intake, because everyone is different.
Losing weight is about balance, so if you have one bad day you need to have an extra good day the next.
