Say No To Sweet
This certainly applies to sugar and fat in our diets. Fat is necessary, as unsaturated fats helps keep cholesterol levels down. It isn't only the high calorie content you have to worry about but also tooth decay, diabetes etc.
Go Fish
Whether your choice of poison is a hot and spicy fish curry or the healthier sushi, include fish in your diet as often as possible. It is low in fat, high in protein and an excellent source of omega 3 fatty acids - an all-round great-for-health ingredient.
Green is In
You know what they say about fruit and vegetables keeping you regular. While you may not be a big fan of greens, remember that you need to consume at least five portions of a variety of fruits and vegetables daily, from fruit juice to vegetable soup.
Carbo Power
Make sure your diet has enough starch - bread, cereal, rice, potatoes, or pasta - daily, but keep the portions small and healthy with wholegrain bread or brown rice. These food items are a great source of energy and come packed with various nutrients.
Big Breakfast
A quick cup of coffee and nothing else before heading out to work? No wonder you feel out-of-sorts and lethargic. This is the most important meal of the day and it’ll give you energy to face the day’s challenges. Do not overdose on carbs and sugar, though!
Coffee is GOOD for you!
Caffeine, a central nervous stimulant can help torch a few calories.
Drink green tea
Brew it yourself, hot or cold, to take advantage of a metabolism-revving substance in tea leaves (just don't ruin it with lots of sugar). More tips at bit.ly/dGuZZv
