Health Tips

 

Do you know that no matter how healthy you eat? You can still put on weight if you’re eating too much.

Regain some portion control with these simple tips:

·   Eat with smaller plates and bowls, you’ll have a smaller portion and still feel satisfied

·    Aim for two portions of vegetables on your plate. This helps to cover your plate with low calorie filling food, leaving less room for higher calorie ingredients

·   Veg Sticks – carrot, celery or cucumber sticks. You can enjoy these low calorie snacks if you feel hungry in-between your meals

·   Eat slowly. It takes about 20mins for your stomach to tell your brain you’re full. When you eat fast, it’s easy to over eat.

·    Turn off the TV, eating in front of the TV, can mean you eat more without noticing or enjoying your food.

·    Weigh your food. Use kitchen scales to weigh your ingredients before you cook.
