Simple steps to shape up
What changes can you make first?
The best place to start changing you diet is with your shopping trolley. If you don’t have it you won’t eat it. This brings with it a warning. Beware of buying ‘bits and pieces’. Some people find keeping a food diary* reveals that their eating habits are quite different to what they perceive. Seeing all the food you eat in a week in one place at one time is a good way of showing your diet for what it is. (That is why some diet makeover TV shows do this). So looking at what you put in your trolley and being careful about extra bits and pieces you buy is a good way of monitoring your eating.
Look at what you are putting in the basket as you shop. Ask yourself:
- Is it necessary?
- Is it healthy?
- Is there a healthier alternative?
Try to eat a varied diet that ensures you are properly fuelled without containing unnecessary calories or excessive processed foods. By buying in one go it is easier to monitor the amounts of snack foods and ‘treats’ you eat. Try to take your own meals and snacks with you when you are at work or out and about to enable you to control what you eat more easily (and it saves money)
You can find out more about how to do this with our article on Are You Properly Fuelled?.
*You may or may not find a food diary useful. They do reveal exactly what you eat. But it can make you overly obsessive about each and every thing you eat whereas it is the overall content of your diet that matters. Also remember we want to focus on sustainable habits – are you going to keep a food diary indefinitely? You may find it helps to start with to get you into good habits though.
