Top 10 healthy food rules

Hi folks,

Here's a quick one for those of you dashing to the supermarket this weekend, and for you guys who are fed up of munching on celery as part of your healthy eating resolutions...my top 10 foodie rules:


1.      Prepare meals & snacks from scratch (you control whats in them)
2.      Start the day with a good breakfast, based around complex carbs & protein (slow release energy & alertness).
3.      A mix of 9 fruit & veg per day varying in colour (different vitamins)
4.      Eat smaller portions more often - 5 small varied meals per day (we can digest it properly & never feel hungry!)
5.      Stay hydrated – don’t wait until you feel thirsty (or hungry).
6.      Buy ‘own brand / saver’ veg & invest in good quality meat (all veg is the same but quality meat = quality nutrients).
7.      Make your own sauces, using tinned tomatoes / cold oils – no cheese (sauces contain hidden dangers)
8.      Look for wholegrain / brown varieties (you're gut will love you for this).
9.      Steam or grill if possible (keeps the nutrients in without adding any bad fats)
10.  When time, make extra portions for quick meals later in the week (one of my favourites).

 Why not try these simple techniques out this week folks & add a comment below to say how you're getting on?
