9 tips for taking charge food-wise

• To satisfy your hunger faster and feel full for longer, stick to the amounts of food recommended for a “healthy plate” when having lunch and dinner.

• To curb hunger pangs and cravings throughout the day, rather than set your alarm 30 minutes later in the morning, spend this time eating a breakfast that includes a little carbohydrate and protein.

• To stop you from finishing a whole tub of ice cream in one go,  serve yourself one portion and put the tub away.

• To have greater control over the amount of dressing on your salads in restaurants, ask for the dressing on the side. This way, you can cut over 100 calories.

• To reduce the liquid calories you drink, replace the sugar in your filter coffee by a drop of milk. (image de comparaison de calories – café sucré v. non sucré)

• To help you reduce portion sizes, use smaller plates.

Which plate contains the most?

• To reduce the number of calories in dairy products while preserving the calcium and protein, choose those that are low in milk fat.

• To increase your vitamin and fibre intake, add frozen vegetables to your stir fries, stews, soups, and even your spaghetti sauce.

• To feel full faster, drink 500 ml or two glasses of water before each meal.
