Time to look at those great tips
Top 25 Healthy Lifestyle Tips backed by Science
1. Follow a low-carb eating plan
including lots of low carb veg, good protein and good fats.
- it will protect you from chronic diseases and
- aid in controlling blood sugar,
- blood pressure
- and cholesterol levels
Need a bit of inspiration to get you started on low-carb clean eating? Check out these great low carb recipes.
2. Include lots of low carb vegetables and fruit
into your meals
- By joining the Healthier Family Challenge, you will know exactly which fruits and veg to include in your clean eating plan
3. Learn to handle cravings better
by allowing yourself a cheat day. We all crave sugar and carbs sometimes. And, that is ok!
Don`t be discouraged by it. When you crave carbs:
- simply include a good carb cheat day into your weekly planner and
- have the carb cheat meal on this day and
- keep it controlled by choosing better carbs
The cheat day will then not affect your weight or health. in fact, it will aid a positive mindset as continuous unmet cravings will merely make you depressed!
4. Try out this superfood
when you want to feel more relaxed, energized and healthy
- It will boost your metabolism and
- Aid in weight loss naturally
- Help you feel more relaxed
- Improve your memory
- Packed with natural anti-oxidants.
If there is only one tip you choose to try, consider this one first!
You will be astonished how relaxed and energized you will feel within a day or two! I use it every single day and the results are amazing. I know you will love it just as much as I do. Be daring and give it a try.
Top Tip
Avoid this superfood mentioned above, when you are pregnant, rather indulge in these pregnancy superfoods
5. Track your progress to stay motivated
There are two schools of thinking here
- Some say weigh yourself every day to stay motivated
- Others say weigh yourself only once a week
- and rather use measurements and or clothes to assess your weight loss
- this helps avoid demotivation from slight daily weight differences that occur due to water retention and hormonal influences
I definitely belong to the latter group of thinking. But either way, be sure to have a way to track your success.
6. Avoid fruits with high carb and high sugar content

like grapes, cherries and figs
- Take the healthy lifestyle challenge and get to know exactly which fruits you should limit in your meals
- Always opt for low carb and low sugar fruits like watermelon, cantaloupe and berries.

7. Make it a habit to quickly check food labels
when shopping for food. Especially for the amount of sugar and carbs included. To know if a product has too much sugar
- just remember 4 grams of sugar equals 1 teaspoon of sugar …
Keep in mind, a healthy, active lifestyle should include about 50 grams of carbs per day. In other words,
- one chocolate bar that has on average 70 grams of carbs already exceeds your daily limit.
- so keep an eye on those labels.
8. Don’t fall into the trap of so-called low-carb products
without making sure it is the correct one. I couldn`t believe my eyes in the shop the other day. I wanted to buy almond milk and the carb content of the different brands ranged per 100 ml between 0.5g and 75g! Unbelievable! There is no use trying to limit carbs and then unknowingly adding a high-carb product to your meals.
9. Eat your last meal around seven to half-past seven at night
When you go to bed at ten your body will have enough time to digest the meal.
10. Drink a cup of ginger tea after dinner
it will boost your metabolism and strengthen your immune system. More reasons to use ginger
- it improves blood sugar
- and has antioxidant benefits
The best way to prepare this tea
- add some freshly sliced ginger, water, and a tea bag and
- simmer for 10 minutes
I recommend using rooibos tea, as it has no caffeine to interfere with your sleep
11. Replace your morning coffee and milk with cinnamon tea
Simply prepare your favorite tea and add half a teaspoon of ground cinnamon or simmer teabag in water for 10 minutes with an added cinnamon stick.

For an extra metabolism boost in the morning try my bulletproof coffee
Top Tip
Add a splash of almond milk before blending – Yummy!
12. Eat slowly, without any interference
- Avoid distractions from the TV and your phone and focus on your meal.
13. Try to exercise at least 3 times a week
Regular exercise improves your blood pressure and control sugar levels. It does not need to involve going to the gym. it can be as easy as
- going for a 30-minute walk, or
- playing football with the kids
- cycling or swimming
Aim to take 5 – 10K steps daily
- invest in a cool pedometer to help you track your steps
My favorites are
- the fitness tracker
- the sleek activity tracker
Leave a comment
and let me know your favorite fitness or activity tracker

Try to drink one glass of water half an hour before every meal to help you
18. Aim to eat 3 meals per day
You can add another one, when you are always hungry in the afternoon or try adding a low carb snack in the afternoon between meals. Avoid skipping meals, unless you are doing an intermittent fast.
19. Beware of high sugar content in fruit juices and soft drinks
It is best to avoid these altogether and a better choice is to make your own fresh juices or smoothies because then you know exactly what it contains.
20. Have a high protein breakfast
- This will help control cravings throughout the day.
