- Stop buying soft drinks and drink more water
- Reduce your alcohol intake
- Eat less meat and bulk out your meals with veggiesÂ
- Eat smaller portions all round
- Stop over-buying food (and throwing it away at the end of the week). Plan healthy meals and snacks and only buy what is on your list.
- Stop over-cooking food or cook double and make sure that half the food is put away before you serve the meal so that you can't be tempted to overeat on the first night.
- Eat healthy home-cooked meals instead of eating out. Give up fast food and take-aways
- Meet friends for a walk, a swim or a game of tennis etc instead of for a meal (or just go out for coffee)
- Walk all short journeys instead of taking your car
