Healthy Diet
Maintaining a health conscious diet seems like an obvious step when trying to lose extra weight. There are three rules of thumb to adhere to:

Reduce Alcohol Intake
Try not to drink alcohol, if possible, as alcoholic drinks contain empty calories and many have loads of hidden sugar. If you are drinking, make sure to drink water after each drink to avoid getting dehydrated.
Exercise
Be active! We suggest trying to be active for at least 30 minutes a day to get your heart rate up. As the warmer weather is upon us, it is easier to get outside. By taking a 30 minute walk every morning or night, this will help with your weight loss journey. Strength training is another great to help maximize your weight loss results too!
