1)
Always eat breakfast
Studies
show that individuals who eat a substantial breakfast lose more weight
than those who have a small breakfast. Choose eggs or baked beans on
wholegrain bread, or muesli with fruit and yoghurt.
2)
Eat your fruit and veg
Aim
for three cups of vegetables and two fruits
each day. Fill half your plate with vegies at lunch and dinner, and add fruit
to your breakfast and for a snack on the way home from work.
3)
Take time to shop each week
If
the food is not in the house, how can you eat well? Schedule in time to shop
each week or shop online.
4)
Walk for 10,000 steps or exercise for
an hour each day
A
pedometer is extremely
useful in providing feedback on how many steps you are racking up each and
every day.
5)
Sit down at the table to eat
Not
only do you eat more slowly and often less food, but you'll enjoy the social
experience of dining.
6)
Always carry a protein-rich snack with
you
This
way you'll avoid eating high-fat food on the run. Great options to keep handy
include nut- or protein-based snack bars, hard fruit such as an apple or a few
crackers.
7)
Have a green tea after meals
Green
tea is high in antioxidants and can help increase metabolic rate.
8)
Always carry a water bottle
Drink
at least two bottles of water a day instead of juice, cordial or soft drinks.
9)
Choose wholegrain, low-GI bread and
breakfast cereal
Aim
for the best-quality breads, crackers and breakfast cereals, as these are foods
we eat every day.
10)
Always eat carbohydrates and proteins
together
Try
eggs on grain toast, yogurt and fruit, crackers and cheese and wholegrain bread
with tuna or chicken.
