With these 4 simple tips you will lose weight in the long term

The desire to lose weight can have a variety of reasons: “It came gradually, I felt more and more uncomfortable in my body,” remembers 28-year-old Laura. Cécile, on the other hand, is a mother of three, which has affected her eating habits – and ultimately her weight.

The two of them finally want to return to their comfortable weight – and maintain it sustainably. In order to achieve their goal, the two decided on the weight loss program Betty Bossi Determined and at the same time committed to the challenge of losing three kilos in three weeks. It sounds like a lot at first, but it’s entirely possible. Start is January 7th, 2025.

The program is aimed at losing weight in a healthy and long-term manner. The “Healthy Weight Loss” app acts as your personal coach that you always have with you. We explain how the weight loss program works and how you can successfully master the challenge.

Replace instead of do without with fine recipes

First of all: Betty Bossi’s weight loss program is not a crash diet! A crash diet causes radical weight loss due to lower calorie restriction. After the extremely successful diet, those affected gain weight again very quickly – and thus experience the unpleasant yo-yo effect.

The Swiss Society, however, points out that a balanced diet should be adhered to. Betty Bossi also sees it that way and focuses on healthy and enjoyable weight loss – or as Cécile says: “I was amazed at how many things I was allowed to eat and still lost weight.”

In the “Healthy Lose Weight” app you will find over 1,000 healthy, varied recipes consisting of high-quality products. How about, for example, broccoli gratin, an orecchiette one-pot or salmon cubes on Ebly? Thanks to personalized recipe suggestions, cooking becomes even more fun – and can be easily integrated into your everyday (work) life.

Tip: cook in advance! This way you won’t even be tempted to deviate from the weight loss program.

Keep track of your calorie intake

When losing weight, you should keep an eye on your daily calorie intake. To do this, create a weekly plan in the “Healthy Weight Loss” app in which your meals are recorded. At the same time, with the individual calorie counter you can immediately see how many calories you have consumed and have and are still available.

If you consume fewer calories than your body burns, this is called a calorie deficit – and you will lose weight. It is important that you set realistic goals. In order to lose weight healthily, a moderate deficit of around 300 to 500 calories per day is recommended. A healthy pace for losing weight is around 0.5 to one kilo per week.

Good to know: Betty Bossi’s weight loss program relies on replacement instead of without. Laura also likes this, as she doesn’t have to worry about cravings during the challenge: “For all my needs, there’s a recipe or a tip on how to put it into a healthy form.”

This is how you stay on track during training

Regular exercise contributes significantly to reducing your weight. Try to be active at least three to five times a week. In the “Healthy Weight Loss” app you will find over 40 fitness videos that will keep you moving even within your own four walls. Connect to your fitness bracelet, track your steps and enjoy your small and large sporting successes.

Tip: Even small changes in everyday life can help! For example, choose the stairs instead of the elevator.

Don’t forget the water!

«Drinking enough water is my number 1 weight loss tip! “This is how you can distinguish between desire and thirst or hunger – it’s often enough to drink a glass of water instead of snacking on chocolate,” Laura is convinced.

Also make sure to drink enough water. The Swiss Nutrition Society should be one to two liters daily. It’s best to choose water or unsweetened tea.

Losing weight requires a lot of self-discipline and patience. This makes it all the more important to be proud of the interim goals – and also to be happy about the small successes. Cécile and Laura are at least overjoyed after the challenge!

Cécile has lost eight kilos: “Now I don’t actually have to lose any more weight. But I want to keep my weight.” Laura, who has lost seven kilos, is also motivated to stick with it: “After three months, I re-evaluate and see what there is still to do.”

You too can begin the journey to your desired weight. Betty Bossi’s digital coach supports you in losing weight healthily and sustainably. It starts on January 7th, 2025!
