Most important: portion control is essential. If you're not sure refer to the calorie guide on this website or there are lots of books. New Leaf also supplies the Diet Plate (see website) which has an on plate guide to help your portion control. If you feel you must have 'more', add vegetables (not potatoes) rather than meat, pasta, rice, bread&butter etc - they will add bulk, without too many calories, yoe can also get help with diet supplements and, if appropriate, prescription medication to reduce your appetite.

 

Drink plenty of water.

Chocolate - Bad Eating Habits

Try not to snack

- its too tempting to have chocolate, crisps or biscuits, which are high in fat, sugar and calories - have a piece of fruit instead or even a small bowl of cereals. They are slow release and should help keep the hunger pangs at bay for longer. Still better go and do something, exercise, go for a walk, see a friend - being busy takes your mind off food, reduces the temptation and sometimes we only snack from boredom - get busy, burn some calories and avoid the temptation of the biscuit barrel.
