Tips - Food & Drink

Measure your wine glasses

Measure the capacity of your wine glass at home. That way you will know exactly how many calories and how many units you are drinking.

Drink from a tall glass

Research says that if you have a drink in a tall slender glass you'll drink less than drinking from a short fat one!

Take care at the cinema

A giant coke is almost 400 calories and a large box of sweet popcorn can be 1,800 calories
That's the equivalent of a curry & 2 beers & you'll hardly notice eating it!

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day

Don’t skip breakfast if you are trying to lose weight. Studies show that eating a proper breakfast is one of the most positive things you can do if you are trying to lose weight. Breakfast skippers tend to gain weight. A balanced breakfast includes fresh fruit or fruit juice, a high-fibre breakfast cereal, low-fat milk or yoghurt, wholewheat toast, and a boiled egg.
