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.

Stop the Pop

A can of soft drink, on average, contains the equivalent of seven teaspoons of sugar - almost half your daily allowance. Cutting out at least one can of pop a day, and replacing it with water will reduce your sugar intake by 49 teaspoons in a week. There are 25 calories in a heaped teaspoon; so that would reduce your calorie intake by 1225 calories.

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!
