Losing weight Getting started - Week 5

     You’ve made it to Week 5! You’re on a roll!


Losing weight  Getting started - Week 5So far we’ve focused on food, but most of 
what we drink also contains calories so it’s 
a good idea to make sure you’re keeping 
a close eye on those liquid calories.
If you’ve ever wondered why you’ve not 
been losing weight even after sticking to 
a strict eating regime, now’s the time to 
see if that regular latte, flavoured water 
or evening tipple is sabotaging your best 
efforts to lose weight.

  Your actions




































for Week 5




• Track your drinking with our apps and 
tools at nhs.uk/alcohol
• If you’re a cappuccino or latte drinker, 
try switching to a black or white coffee 
• Try skimmed milk instead of semi-skimmed milk for a week 
• Stick to your calorie limit – 1,400kcal 
for women and 1,900kcal for men
• You should be doing 150 minutes  
of activity by now. If not, get some 
inspiration at  nhs.uk/fitness

       Did you know?



The key to weight loss success is not 
to expect too much, too soon. Make 
changes to your diet and activity levels 
you can live with. 
If your changes are too drastic, it will 
feel like a struggle. If you fall off the 
wagon, you may return to old habits 
and regain weight.
