​SMALL STEP #9 - LOSE 10%

Initially, aim to lose just 5 to 10 percent of your current weight.

I realise that many of you may want or need to lose more weight than this, BUT in reducing your body weight by just 10% the health benefits are huge - lower BMI, blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and triglycerides, as well as reducing your risk of many other health conditions.

So whilst you may have a bigger goal in mind in the long run, make your shorter term goal to lose 10% of your starting weight.
