Control Portions

Be mindful of portion sizes to avoid overeating. Use smaller plates and bowls to help control your portions and  trick your brain into thinking you're eating more

Hydrate

Eat Mindfully

 Balanced Meals

Focus on balanced meals that include a mix of lean proteins carbohydrates and healthy fats to stabilise blood sugar levels and keep you full longer.

Processed Food

 Minimise your intake of processed foods, sugary snacks, and sugary beverages which are high in empty calories and can lead to weight gain

Increase Fibre

 Foods rich in fibre, such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains, can help you feel full and satisfied while consuming fewer calories.

Exercise Better

Incorporate both cardiovascular exercises (like brisk walking, jogging, or cycling) and strength training into your routine

Sleep More

Prioritise getting 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night. Poor sleep can disrupt your hormones, leading to increased appetite and cravings for unhealthy foods.
