Tips - Food & Drink

Measure your wine glasses

Measure the capacity of your wine glass at home. That way you will know exactly how many calories and how many units you are drinking.

Change that snack and save the calories

By skipping a chocolate bar every day and eating fresh fruits and nuts, you can save 1000 calories a week!

Check the calorie differences between drinks

Need help to lose weight? Write it down!

If you are trying to lose weight, try a food diary, as you are more likely to lose weight if you write down everything you eat and read it back to yourself.

Drink from a tall glass

Research says that if you have a drink in a tall slender glass you'll drink less than drinking from a short fat one!

Stop the Pop

A can of soft drink, on average, contains the equivalent of seven teaspoons of sugar - almost half your daily allowance. Cutting out at least one can of pop a day, and replacing it with water will reduce your sugar intake by 49 teaspoons in a week. There are 25 calories in a heaped teaspoon; so that would reduce your calorie intake by 1225 calories.
