TEN TIPS FOR A NEW BEGINNING

January is traditionally the time for dieting. Most people will have stopped by Valentines Day.
Instead of dieting make SUSTAINABLE CHANGES to the way you eat. Here are some ideas.....

1. NEVER SKIP BREAKFAST as your body needs refuelling after sleeping.
2. COOK FRESH FOOD - ditch the ready made, processed, low calorie, low fat meals.
3. EAT HEALTHY SNACKS such as dried fruit, nuts and seeds, to keep blood sugar stable between meals.
4. CUT OUT WHEAT AND DAIRY products for a while - many people have intolerances to gluten and lactose - you may feel the benefit.
5. GO BROWN - wholegrain products have a higher nutritional content than refined white ones, and contain more fibre.
6. GET COOKING - try out some new healthy recipes.
7. BOOST YOUR NUTRIENT INTAKE - eat one 'raw ' meal a day - not just salad ingredients but chopped or grated vegetables too.
8. GIVE YOUR LIVER A BREAK - cut out alcohol for a while and let your liver recover from the festive season.
9. DRINK WATER - each day you lose about 1.5 litres so you need to replace it.
10. KEEP A FOOD DIARY - writing down what you eat has been proven to help in weight loss.

Happy Eating
