How do you avoid weight gain?
Eat a healthy, balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein sources, legumes, nuts and seeds, and healthy fats. Reduce intake of ultra-processed foods, such as cakes, crisps and fizzy drinks, and save them for the occasional treat.
Moving more throughout the day and sleeping more at night has also been associated with reduced risk of weight gain. Aim for 150 minutes of exercise spread throughout the week, including 2 sessions of strengthening exercise.
For sleep, 7-9 hours per night helps our bodies rest and repair and reduces cravings throughout the day too.
