NUTRITION

Cook another meal a week. The food you make yourself is likely to be lower in kilojoules, added sugar and saturated fat than packaged, processed foods.

Fill half your dinner plate with vegetables. Then eat them first to fill up on satiating fibre. Another trick is to make sure your plate has a variety of colours on it.

Rethink your drink. Is your so-called ‘healthy’ juice or tea actually a sugary drink? Substitute water infused with fruit and herbs, soda water flavoured with real fruit, or a homemade smoothie.
