How to diet: easy rules to help you lose weight!

Eat regularly
You need to eat small meals regularly to look and feel your best – so don’t skip meals. Each day choose a breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack from the plan. Extra fruit from breakfast can be saved for a snack later. 

Ditch the white stuff
White flour and sugar can play havoc with your blood-sugar levels, which can negatively affect your mood and energy and make you hungry.
 
Measure your milk
Each day you can have either 300ml of skimmed milk or 300ml of Soya Light milk.

Add flavour
All herbs and spices can be used freely, as can vegetables such as asparagus, green beans, radishes, celery and carrots.

Bin the booze
Stay clear of alcohol and cut back on caffeine.

Look ahead
Organise your meals in advance to help you stick to your plan.

Get plenty of sleep
Most people need between seven to nine hours each night.

Be active
Exercising regularly will boost your energy levels and make you feel good while you’re losing weight.

Eat consciously
Sit down and relax when you eat so you can focus entirely on your meals. Avoid eating on automatic pilot – and switch 
off the telly!
