Looking after your figure: everyday habits
By Rudy Langlet, Aloe Santé advisor · 12 October 2026 · 3 min read
Looking after your figure is not about strict diets or going without. It is mostly a matter of habits: what goes on your plate, what you drink, how much you move and how well you sleep.
In this article, we share simple habits that are easy to keep up. And for those who need a framework to get started, we introduce Forever's C9™ programme, a 9-day programme explained in our C9 programme guide.
A simple, balanced plate
No need to count every calorie. An easy rule of thumb: half the plate vegetables, a quarter protein (fish, eggs, lean meat, pulses), a quarter starchy foods, ideally wholegrain.
- Cook at home whenever you can: you know what you are eating.
- Cut down on processed foods, added sugars and sugary drinks.
- Season with herbs and spices rather than lots of salt or sauce.
- Think fibre: vegetables, fruit, pulses, wholegrains.
Drink enough, mostly water
Water is the only drink you really need. Keep a bottle on your desk, have a glass when you wake up and with every meal. If plain water bores you, add a slice of lemon, a few mint leaves or make a cold infusion.
Fizzy drinks, juices and alcohol often contain a lot of sugar without you noticing: keep them for special occasions.
Move a little every day
Physical activity does not have to be intense to count. A 30-minute walk, taking the stairs, getting off one stop early, a little strength work at home: it all adds up.
Pick an activity you enjoy, that is the best way to stick with it. If you are starting again after a long break, our article on getting back into exercise gently will help you get organised.
Sleep and regular meal times
Short nights and rushed meals make good habits harder to keep. Try to keep regular hours, take time to eat sitting down and away from screens, and stop when you are no longer hungry.
Planning your shopping and preparing a few meals ahead also helps avoid last-minute snacking.
Giving yourself a framework: Forever's C9™ programme
Some people need a concrete starting point. Forever's C9™ programme is a 9-day programme that organises your days: aloe vera gel, Forever Lean™, Forever Therm™, fibre and Forever Lite Ultra™ shakes, with simple meals, plenty of water and physical activity.
Our C9 programme guide follows Forever's official booklet: what is in the pack, how days 1-2 and 3 to 9 work, foods to avoid and tips to follow it well. It is not a treatment: food supplements should be used as part of a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
When to ask for advice
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, taking medication, living with a chronic condition or an eating disorder, talk to your doctor before changing your diet or taking food supplements. Forever products are not medicines and never replace medical advice.
Food supplements should not replace a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
FAQ
