Eat Well
If you still want to loose some weight, try sticking to the guidelines in this BANT plate.
This means more protein foods and less fruit than the 'wellness' plate.
This means more protein foods and less fruit than the 'wellness' plate.
If you are happy with your weight now and want to move to maintaining your weight - check out the BANT guidelines for Wellness. The main change is more root veg and whole grains and less protein ( 5 veg a day and 2 fruit).
Remember when you are buying food - check the labels and use these handy guides to remind yourself of what is in different foods. These are the NHS food shopping cards which can be viewed below or downloaded here and here. They use a traffic light system of red amber and green to help you work out how much fat, sugar and salt is in different food products.
Remember to watch out for hidden sugars (for a reminder about sugar and its affects click sugar sugar). Keep an eye on the fat in your diet - it can be good, bad or ugly ( click the F word for a reminder). Try and cook from scratch and avoid processed foods ( click the Real Deal to refresh your memory). |
Decide on your focus now for eating and get SMART! Make small manageable changes.
Drink WellWe have encouraged you to drink well by making sure you are well hydrated. If you need a reminder click on the button about the Pee Test. It's easy to make a small change and ensure you drink enough water. |
We also introduced information about alcohol and its affect of the body. If you do drink alcohol, making small changes to your habits will have an important positive impact. Check out the drinkaware app if you have not already done so. |
Decide what changes you want to commit to and take some action. Keep it manageable.
