Are you gaining weight during lockdown? 10 expert weight-loss solutions

If you make the commitment to lose weight, it’s important that you start off with a reasonable goal. Adams recommends beginning with no more than two to four kilos per month, and only weighing yourself twice per week at the same time of the day each time. A slow, steady approach is the best way to make changes that fit your lifestyle and achieve goals that you can truly maintain.

“I usually recommend Wednesdays and Saturdays as this gives you an idea of patterns and habits during the week and weekend,” he says. “If you don’t have much weight to lose, then two to four kilos per month is not reasonable and you should check with an expert and find out what a healthy weight for you should be,” Adams says.
