 KELLY AND FRED: TOP TIPS

  • You should eat every two to three hours
  • Don’t shop for food when you are feeling hungry
  • Don’t cook when you are feeling hungry – as you will just pick while you are cooking
  • Make your lunch in a batch for the week. Pack and label them in Tupperware and put them in a freezer and take them out and use them as you need
  • Don't only eat to get full! This is a bad habit to get into
  • Only eat when you need to
  • Don’t skip meals
  • Drink 6-8 glasses of water each day
  • Have any dressing, sauce or gravy on the side
  • Do not cut back on calories as you will be doing exercise so you will need the food for energy
