Smoothies and salads.
Hi everybody,
I have decided to start eating healthier and also it would be nice to lose some weight, so I bought myself a smoothie maker.
I thought it would be the best breakfast option to make smoothies, as I they fill me nicely but are v. healthy. Alongside, for both lunch and dinner (although as a university student I generally go for a lunch-dinner anyway) I would make salads with various things, mostly with minimal dressing/sauces.
Would this enable some weight loss along side walking at least 40 minutes a day, if not more? :) I am honestly too busy for proper work outs currently, but later I would like to work in a regular pattern of at-home exercises.
What do you guys think?

That is a terrific start! Eating healthier is the first step to weight loss. And you should lose a bit from just eating healthy, but you will need to exercise as well. As a college student myself I totally understand how busy it is to fit in enough time to exercise. Before you go to bed, and before getting ready in the morning, just do some sit ups for about 5 minutes, it'll get you energized in the morning, and get you ready to sleep at night. Then, you will be ready to make a more active exercise plan. Hope I helped, if you need any more exercise/eating healthy tips let me know.

Hi,
It's great that you are trying to be healthier :)
Smoothies and salads are definitely healthy alternatives to most food choices. The only thing I suggest is to give more variety instead of having those 6 out of the 7 days of the week. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) has many good recipes for healthy choices for breakfast, lunch, and dinner that are pretty easy to make.
As for exercise, 40 minutes of walking a day will help. I do suggest adding some variety to that as well if you can. Here is a website that has some workouts that you can do at home and don't take very long.

Just remember to not over work yourself. Ease into all these changes so your body will get used to it. I hope this helps and good luck :)
