Start with a Plan!
Reducing what you eat takes a little planning! These are our dietitians recommended first steps!
Firstly work out a pattern of meals that suits.
Some find that a healthy breakfast reduces excesses later in the day. Most people find three balanced meals, two smaller ones and one main meal is usually enough.
Reduce your calorie intake by reducing fats and alcohol. Both are energy dense (high in calories) and they simply fail to keep hunger away for long. Choose complex carbohydrates particularly fibre containing ones. |
 |
Reduce your portion size and choose a smaller plate as it tends to gives you the impression of eating more.
Eating 5 helpings of fruit and veg a day really does help to keep weight under control and is healthy.
Don't think that you cant eat out or have celebration meals.
Plan ahead to allow for some calorie indulgence. When you’re there carefully select your meal and eat small portions, it’ll help to avoid any problems of guilt.
Any changes aren’t for just days or weeks but for life, a longer and healthier life.
