TRASH YOUR JUNK CALORIES

DUMP LOADED DRINKS

The same people that wouldn’t dream of drinking two glasses of Coke every day, will suck down that much fruit juice.  Yes, fruit juice has a few more nutrients, but apple juice contains more sugars than the same amount of Coke.  Liquid kilojoules aren’t that filling, so they don’t help you cut kiljoules; they simply contribute to unwanted weight.

BE A BLOTTER

Use a serviette to sop up the glistening puddles of grease on pizza and other oily foods. You dining companion can laugh at your obsessive dedication, and you can soak up a teaspoon of grease.  5g of fat and 190 kilojoules worth from 2 slices.

TAKE 20

One of the most overlooked ways to eat less is to slow down. It should take 20 minutes to eat lunch.  Take smaller bites, put down your fork between bites,  take a drink.  You body will have time to register what you’re consuming, and you’ll eat less.

BE A CEREAL SLIMMER

Eating breakfast stokes your metabolism, so you burn more kilojoules throughout the morning.  Research shows that people who have maintained their weight loss show breakfast eaters tend to consume fewer kilojoules and have better overall nutritional status than breakfast skippers.

ENJOY THE SPICE OF LIFE

You can save about 400 kilojoules of pop by trading creamy condiments for tangy ones.  Choose mustard over mayo, neapolitana over alfredo, salsa over sour cream. One substitution a day is the way to start.
