Top tips for success
● Trim all visible fat off meats and remove skin from poultry.
● If you’re hungry between meals, snack on Free Food, reaching for fresh fruit or veg first. Those that are lowest in energy density are called Speed Free Food.
● Choose wholegrains, eg wholemeal pasta or wholegrain rice, where you can.
● Aim to have between six and eight drinks a day – choose water, sugar-free drinks, tea and coffee. Any milk needs to come from your allowance.
