1. Eat for pleasure and good health, not for weight loss.
2. Start the day with oats and you wont be hungry for hours.
3. Eat more fish, chicken, vegetables and salads, and less red meat, pork, pasta, pastry and potatoes.
4. Use a plastic squeezy bottle for olive oil and sauces - it helps you use less.
5. Use yoghurt instead of cream.
6. Snack on fruit and nuts instead of chocolate and crisps.
7. Steam instead of grill, grill instead of roast, roast instead of fry, shallow-fry instead of deep fry.
8. Eat carbs like pasta and potatos for lunch instead of in the evening.
9. Drink better, drink less, and drink only with the evening meal.
10. If you really want something, enjoy it without guilt, then lighten up the next day.
