Some tips for healthy eating...

Struggling to keep your eating habits under control? Try these helpful tips.

• Start with a good breakfast; this will kick start your metabolism


• Eat more meals per day but cut back on the amount of food at each meal (say 6 smaller meals in stead of 3 larger ones), as this will keep your metabolism working for longer


• Drinking 1-2 L of water each day will also help. A good way to do this is have a jug of water on the bench/at work and fill up a glass each time you walk past


• Don't skip meals-starving yourself will not help


• Try to make your own lunch at home to take to work as much as possible: take a shopping list to supermarket and buy all necessary ingreadients there, make lunch the night before


• Cut back on soft drinks, or anything else full of sugar


• Stay away from processed foods and high GI snacks-the more natural the food, the better

And remember, a balanced diet that you can actually stick to is a much better option to fad diets!!
