Eat only when you’re hungry

‘Don’t just eat because it’s lunchtime. Understand when you’re hungry and eat then – and stop eating when you’re full. If that means not eating breakfast until mid-morning or postponing lunch until 3pm, then go with it. It’s been shown that people who eat in this more mindful way eat less across the day, which can help with weight maintenance. This in turn can assist in many areas of health, including lowering risk of heart disease, diabetes and some cancers.’
