1. Stay away from the inside aisles.When you grocery shop, fill up your trolley from the aisles around the outside the perimeter of the store. This is where the fresh fruit, vegetables and fresh foods are kept.

2. Eat small amounts frequently. Don’t allow yourself to get hungry. Keep your appetite in control with smaller meals and healthy snacks in between.

3. Keep close to nature. Fresh is best and generally much better for you than pre-packaged. For example, a fresh potato baked in its jacket is more healthy than pre-packaged “potato au gratin”.

4. Experiment and use spices. Get used to cooking with a wide variety of spices. It’s possible to get fabulous flavor with spices without adding high calorie fats and oils.

5. Read “fat free” labels carefully. Many “fat free” items contain additional carbohydrates in the form of sugar or fructose to compensate for reduced flavor and can do more to add to your weight than the “full strength” product.
