Lose Weight Correctly and keep it off Permanently

Ensure that your meals are nutritionally well balanced and that you eat adequately each day.

Food provides you with energy (expressed as kilocalories or what we commonly refer to as 'calories') which fuels your daily activities and here's how much you need.

Every adult requires to consume approximately 2000 calories (kilocalories) daily. When you wish to lose weight, you need to reduce the intake by 500 calories each day which means you should follow a 1500-calorie diet.

Following a low calorie diet doesn't mean eliminating certain foods or cutting out meals. Instead, a diet should be a part of your lifestyle, a way of living, eating the correct way and cultivating habits that will stay with you for a lifetime.

A well-balanced diet gives you optimal energy and nutrition for maintenance of your body cells, tissues and organs and supports normal growth and development.

ELKE'S WEEKLY BEAUTY TIP

When applying blush, don't "sweep" or "stroke" the color across the cheeks. You'll usually end up streaking the color on, and then having to go back to 'correct' and 'blend'. Instead, smile, and tap on gently going across your cheeks. By tapping the color onto the brush, and then tapping in onto the cheeks........ you'll avoid excess color, streaking and more. Tapping on blends the color for you and you can always add more if you want.
