A new leaflet is availble at the Brentwood Centre to help you lose weight with great tips and receipts. Here are some of the tips included in our leaflet:
-
1.Eat little and often (every 3-4 hours)
-
2. Drink at least 2 litres of water per day
-
3. Pre-prepare fresh fruit salad and leave in the fridge for munching when hungery
-
4. Eat 5 portions of fruit and veg.
-
5. Keep your meals varied, try some new ideas for meals, e.g. an unusual fruit
-
6. Fat Free soup anytime to keep hunger away - homemade if possible (see recipe in leaflet)
-
7. Eat plenty of fish like mackerel and salmon as they contain omega 3 oils which are essential fatty acids
-
8. Do not deprive yourself of your favourite foods - everything is good in moderation
-
9. Try not to eat a heavy meal too late in the evening as this will not be digested properly and can make you feel uncomfortable
-
10. Try to avoid the scales - only weigh yourself once a week or go by the size of your clothes, better still have a body fat read.
