How to Fill in the Weekly Weight Lose Chart?

[kris999]

HI.. I am new here. Just try to lose weight... 

I have many questions about the nhs.uk/Choices chart:

1. What is recording of 'Your 5 a Day' and what is that used for? 

2. How many minutes of Aerobic and Strength exercises that we are suppose to do in terms of losing weight? 

3. Is there anywhere I can get more information about what the ideal scene is for weight losing? 

Heheee, too many questions...  

Any help or directions to help me get started would be greatly appreciated!!

Later, Guys and Girls...

Hi Kris999

good for you in starting on a new plan - questions are always good as they keep everyone on their toes and remind us all what we should be doing.

I have only been on this plan for a week, but my understanding is as follows:

5 a day is your pieces of fruit and veg - I have read before this should be 2 fruit and 3 veg - a google search will tell you how much a portion size is.  Also you should try and aim for 5 different colours of fruit and veg and this will cover all the nutritional values you'd need for example - green apple, black grapes, orange carrot, white cauliflower, red raddish.

for this plan I have read 150 minutes of exercise - combine cardio + strength

not sure how to answer your third point, but I hope these two answers start you off....

good luck.
