Don’t rule out your favourite foods

Don’t rule out foods you enjoy from your diet.  Work on the basis of eating a healthy diet with complex carbohydrates such as wholemeal rice, pasta and sweet potatoes, plenty of vegetables, fruits, oily fish and low fat protein such as the white parts of chicken but allow yourself some of the foods you enjoy in ‘moderation’ and in sensible portion sizes.  Don’t feel guilty about eating these foods.If you rule out certain foods out you are more likely to crave them.  If you deprive yourself, you are likely to eat lots of other foods and therefore increase your calorie intake, before eventually succumbing to your food craving.By consuming a healthy diet, your palate will become accustomed to this food and you will be less likely to crave less healthy foods.
