How’s your daily strategies going?
Are you filling up your plate with vegetables at every opportunity?
Are you eating white meats, leaner beef and plenty of fish?
How about your fruit intake? Is there always a constant supply in the house?
Are you eating wholemeal bread, or wholemeal pitta bread? Have you made this change yet?
Are you have whole grains in your day, such as brown rice and wholegrain/wholewheat pasta?
Are you eating as a family together? It’s a great way to educate the rest of the family on what they should be eating, and to introduce difference vegetables mixed in with other foods.
Are you volunteering to cook? You can’t expect to impose a healthy eating regime and have it all literally put on plate for you! Contribution is the kitchen is vital, plus you can see that your food is being prepared in the right way.
Is there still tempting food in the cupboards or the fridge? You know it’s always going to be eaten at sometime in the future, you don’t need temptation in front of you every day!
If you have a family, are you helping them to learn about food, and the importance of eating properly, and the way it will make them look and feel in the future? This can be of enormous help to them, if it’s not done in a patronising way of course!
Are you avoiding butter and margarine on your bread, this is an easy way to save 100-200 calories in a sandwich, plus save your arteries from work extra hard every day!
How’s your drinking going (alcohol)? If you are drinking in the week, you’re not likely to be successful and your body’s fat burning will be largely shut down!
Are you sleeping properly? This is one of the most underestimated areas of your programme, try getting to bed early in the week and your performances will be good, if not they are likely to be mediocre, your choice!
Are you drinking enough water? If you are, notice how good you feel during that period of time after you have drunk it, relying on teas and coffee actually dehydrates you, and can make you very irritable, 3 cups of either are the maximum before their benefits decrease sharply!
How’s you salt intake? Truly the silent killer, salt in your food means you are pushing up your blood pressure, and you will see significant differences too if you don’t add salt when cooking, tough for about a week or so but after this time, you will learn to actually TASTE your food again, this is a must believe me so throw it out now if you want good health!
These strategies are tried and tested and will help you be very successful, give them a go!

Are you filling up your plate with vegetables at every opportunity?can this be over done? is there such a thing has to much on the plate of veg????
How about your fruit intake?not sure if this is giving me heartburn form time/time?????
Is there still tempting food in the cupboards or the fridge?only a few light yog’s in mine and their for the children and my yog which everyone hates 🙂
but i am still guilty of the water, well lack of 🙁 🙁
the lack of water maybe the answer to those other issues with you cyril, water helps fat-burning, helps circulation, helps process food quicker and better, helps give you more energy. To nail this in one, there was a book written by a doctor who treated 4000 inmates in a jail in war torn iran at the time. His only medicine he was allowed was one thing-water! Seriously, check it out on the net, he helped get well 4000 people with people sharing 12 inmates per room, amazing!
temperatures not so good cyril, but glorious at certain times!
rain for next 3 days though!
sorry to hear about your back, and glad you are back to being active.
You wont believe how many people i know get injuries from painting, moving things, its crazy!
glad to see your posts again and you still strive to improve, which its all about!
