Before I tell you all about how to lose weight, let me tell you a little bit about how this course is going to work. This is a five week course and therefore we're going to do this in five modules. Each week a new module will be available to you, so you can have the time to spend the week ahead on what you have learnt and really get to understand the information that's been given to you ...

Now that we have the nutrition in place and the daily exercise underway, let's focus on a few other areas that will support you on achieving your weight loss goals. You've had a week now to really get the real whole foods into the kitchen and into the cupboards and the fridge. So we're going to talk about a kitchen makeover today.

Sleep is essential for health and survival, yet how often do we focus on the quality of the sleep that we allow our bodies to have? There's so many factors that can affect a good night's sleep, including high stress, children or partner waking you during the night, late nights out or even in front of the TV, shift work, and for those of you who are going through the menopause, hormone changes that occur within the body.

Last session we talked about sleep and how lack of it raises cortisol in the body. Our fight and flight hormone. Switching the body's natural fat burning to fat storing. Particularly around the abdominal wall. Well this same hormone is triggered when we're stressed. now we'll work on how we can manage it better, to improve your fat burning throughout the day and to allow your body to continue to lose weight on this wonderful journey.

Welcome back to what is going to be the last of our weight loss sessions. But like any lifestyle change, it's still really only the beginning. By now you should have formed quite a few new habits. Let's revisit these and write them down so you can use them as a framework, especially if you have times going forward where you feel that you are going slightly off track.
