Never underestimate the power of squats\u2026and glute focused exercises.<\/p>\n

Besides wanting to look great, it\u2019s important to have a strong and healthy butt and thighs as they are the foundations to help us with all our movements every day. When the butt and thighs are strengthened, the glutes are able to balance and stabilise the hips, allowing the hip flexors to move with ease, reducing the risk of back pain and reducing the chance of injury.<\/p>\n

Not only that but a strong butt and thighs means a stronger pelvis and better-supported knees and ankles. PLUS glute exercises are a great way to burn MAJOR calories.<\/p>\n

Fruits and vegetables<\/h4>\n

\"lose<\/p>\n

Guidelines recommend that you eat at least 5 or more portions of fruits and vegetables every day, but the optimum is at least 2 portions of fruit and 4 portions of vegetables. A portion of fruits and veggies is generally considered to be a large handful of raw fruit or vegetable.<\/p>\n

Whole grains\/carbohydrates<\/h4>\n

\"lose<\/p>\n

Each meal should include a portion of carbohydrates, ideally, wholegrain carbohydrates to keep you fuller for longer and to improve digestive health. 4 portions of wholegrain carbohydrates are recommended per day \u2013 but if you eat a potato, this should be taken as a carbohydrate portion rather than a vegetable portion.<\/p>\n

A standard portion of potato should be the size of a computer mouse (225g), a portion of spaghetti pasta should be less than 1.5cm in diameter, a portion of shaped pasta should be a small heaped handful (40g dry) and a portion (150g) of cooked rice should be, when packed together, around the size of a small tin of tuna.<\/p>\n

Protein\/dairy<\/h4>\n

\"lose<\/p>\n

Protein and dairy are a key part of any diet \u2013 they improve general health and can boost weight loss. Portions of protein (1-2 a day) should always be around the size of your palm. Protein in the form of meat, like chicken, beef, game or pork should be trimmed of all visible fat. A portion of tofu should be the size of your palm, and a portion of beans should be a small heaping handful.<\/p>\n

Dairy portions should be kept fairly small, as they tend to contain more fat \u2013 a portion of milk should be a small glass of 250ml, a portion of yoghurt should be a small 50g-100g pot and a portion of cheese should be matchbox-sized (28g). Cheese should be eaten less frequently than milk and yoghurt as it contains more fat.<\/p>\n

Fat<\/h4>\n

\"lose<\/p>\n

It might surprise you, but guidelines recommend that you eat three portions of heart-healthy fats each day \u2013 the maximum serving should be 1 tbsp. of heart-healthy fat, such as extra-virgin olive oil. These fats improve the health of your skin, hair and nails, and they also boost the health of your internal systems and your eyes.<\/p>\n
