Begin each day with a healthy breakfast and do not skip any meals.
When you are hungry between meals, opt for a portion of fruit or a low-fat yoghurt.
For lunch, provide a portion of vegetables in the form of chopped raw vegetables or soup.
Only put low fat spreads on your bread, and limit the quantity.
Prioritise unrefined foods, such as wholemeal bread, pasta and rice, or unsweetened breakfast cereals made of whole grains.
Eat half a plate of vegetables with your hot meal.
Limit sweets, cakes, chocolate and fizzy drinks, fast food and biscuits.
Forget that lifts exist – take the stairs! Ensure you get a minimum of 30 minutes of physical activity per day. Cycle to the shop, dance, walk the dog – it all counts!
Drink sufficient water throughout the day. Coffee, tea, a light broth and, from time to time, a diet fizzy drink, are all permitted. Beware of fizzy drinks, fruit juices and alcohol.
