Most of us actually know, more or less, how to lose weight &#8211; we know to eat less, exercise more, avoid junk &amp; fast food, eat veggies, drink water, etc. &#8211; but we often need a bit more detail and we often want clear practical advice from sources we can trust. We live in the &#8220;Age of Google&#8221; so a bit of online research is really quite easy today. We strongly encourage this and there is no doubt that a bit of self-learning is hugely empowering and very helpful. But we do think we can help you avoid the &#8220;nonsense&#8221; out there (and there is a lot of online &#8220;nonsense&#8221;) by suggesting some links from reliable trust-worthy sources. There are also some valuable apps that we suggest you look into.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TRUST-WORTHY ONLINE RESOURCES<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Weight_loss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wikipedia<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com.au\/2016\/08\/21\/this-is-how-long-it-really-takes-to-lose-weight_a_21453914\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Huffington Post<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/live-well\/healthy-weight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The UK NHS<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/healthyweight\/losing_weight\/getting_started.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The CDC<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhf.org.uk\/informationsupport\/heart-matters-magazine\/nutrition\/weight\/steps-to-sustainable-weight-loss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Heart Foundation UK<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8230;each of these is quality source so please browse around the sites.<\/p>\n<p><strong>APPS YOU SHOULD LOOK AT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Apps can be very handy.
