practice. Each day, eat well-planned, nutritionally balanced meals, snack on
healthy foods and get your required daily fluid intake.
If you don’t enjoy the taste of water,
try adding a slice of lemon, orange
or sprig of mint
Drinking water is great for weight
management – next time you feel
you can’t quite wait until your next
meal, try drinking a glass or two of
water, it’s surprising how full it
makes you feel
Good meal planning involves eating healthy nutritious meals throughout the day, even if you’re
out and about or out of your regular routine.
For some people, this means three balanced main meals each day, with a morning and afternoon
snack. If you can, choose healthy meals and snacks, and if this fits with your lifestyle, go for it!
Others choose to eat five smaller meals. Backed by the latest science, eating five smaller
balanced meals each day can help to maintain a balanced stream of energy, which keeps
your appetite stable meaning, you’re less likely to desire sugary or unhealthy snacks.
MEAL PLANS
Snacks are useful to help keep our energy topped up between meals, but can easily ruin a healthy
eating plan if you don’t choose healthy snack options.
Also, it pays to understand why you are snacking – is it because of hunger, or is it ‘emotional eating’?
Many convenience snacks are high in sugar and fat and these high calorie snacks will not satisfy you.
Choose snacks that are nutritious and will satisfy until your next meal. Healthy snacking can also
assist with weight control, as you can help manage your blood sugar levels throughout the day.
HEALTHY SNACKING
Water is vital to life. It’s important for healthy body function,
concentration, clear thinking and even weight management. Drink
plenty of water each day. When you are thirsty, you are already
dehydrated.
