Having one 'free day' a week where you can eat more relaxed and give yourself a break from exercise works well for many people. If you do this, make sure to eat well and exercise the other days in order to get the results you are working towards!

QUICK CARB FACTS:
·Carbs are comprised of simple sugars: sucrose (table sugar), glucose, fructose (fruit sugar), maltose & lactose (milk sugar)
·3 categories: simple carbs (sugars), complex carbs (starchy) and fibre (mainly non-starchy)
·The digestive system breaks down the various types of carbs into the simplest unit – glucose - that is then absorbed into the bloodstream and distributed throughout the body to provide energy for cells.

FIBRE & WEIGHT CONTROL:
1. Fibre is needed mainly to keep the digestive system healthy and contributes to other processes, such as stabilizing glucose & cholesterol levels.

2. It is found in whole grain cereals, breads, pastas, fruits & vegetables. Other terms for dietary fibre include 'bulk' and 'roughage'.

3. Studies have shown that to lose significant amounts of excess body fat, it is important to increase the amount of dietary fibre, especially soluble fibre, in their daily diet. Fibrous foods are often bulky and, therefore, filling; they also tend to be low in fat. Soluble fibre forms a gel which slows down the emptying of the stomach and the transit time of food through the digestive system. The extra chewing time often required of high fibre foods also helps contribute to feeling satisfied.
