- Stop if you’re full for 80%, eat enough but not till you’re really full.
- Chew enough before you eat your food, at least 15 times per bite
- Drink at least 2 Liters of water per day! The best is filtered water.
- Move!! At least 30 minutes per day! Dance on that music, run, buy a jump rope, take the stairs, play with your kids. No excuses anymore;)
- Eat less carbohydrates, like bread, pasta etc. Better to eat salads with fish, chicken or vegetarian. Vegetables omelette, woks with vegetables and nuts.
- Eat fat, but the good ones. Olive oil and coconut oil. Forget the Margarine, halvarine and peanut-oil.
- Read nutrition labels and try to eat less sugar. Make a food diary for a few days before you start. Learn the difference between naturally occurring sugar and added sugar. If you want something sweet: take a piece of 75% cacao chocolate.
- Try cow milk products to replace. Take: rice milk, almond milk, oat milk and take the unsweetened varieties! Replace regular cheese by goat or sheep chees.
- Don’t go grocery shopping when you’re hungry.
