Tips for a Healthy Eating Plan

Here are a few simple rules to follow to kick-start your new healthy eating plan:

Always have breakfast. It speeds up your metabolism. If you don’t, your body switches into conservation mode and you’ll burn kilojoules at a slower rate.

Drink two liters of water a day. We often mistake hunger for thirst. If you feel hungry, have a glass of water. If the hunger persists, eat.

Eat six small meals per day. When you’re consistently feeding your body, your metabolism doesn’t get the chance to slow down.

Get the right mix. Five portions of fruit and veg every day, plenty of whole grains, the good fats found in fish, and protein to help build muscle.
