Prioritise Whole Foods

Try and opt for whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and healthy fats. Don't indulge excessively in processed foods that are high in sugar content, unhealthy fats and refined carbohydrates.

Portion Control

Do practice portion control to avoid overeating and maintain a healthy weight. Don't heap your plate with oversized portions or go back for seconds without considering your hunger level.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and prevent mistaking thirst for hunger. Don't rely on sugary beverages like soda or sweetened juices, which contribute unnecessary calories and can lead to weight gain.

Mindful Eating

Do pay attention to hunger and fullness cues and eat slowly to savour your meals and avoid overeating. Don't eat mindlessly in front of the TV or computer as it can lead to consuming more calories than you need.
