DON'T DIET, JUST EAT MORE...


DON'T DIET, JUST EAT MORE...






AVOCADOS, with plenty of vitamin E that keeps skin moist and supple;

BLACKCURRANTS AND BLUEBERRIES - the former have tons of vitamin C, which will improve the health of the immune system and keep the skin looking healthy, while the latter have antioxidants to fight off the free radicals in our bodies;

GARLIC, to protect from indigestion, stomach ulcers and bowel cancers;

GREENS such as spring greens and Savoy cabbage, which are a great source of calcium and potassium;

NUTS for magnesium;

OILY FISH, for Omega 3 essential fats;

ONIONS, which are great detoxifiers;

TOMATOES, a good source of lipoid acid, which helps to increase energy levels and even, improve brainpower.

EAT AND DRINK LESS...

ALCOHOL. The Department of Health recommends no more than 3-4 units a day for men and 2-3 units for women. Cutting this out will make the calorie-counting of dieting far more achievable;
SOFT DRINKS, because of the caffeine in cola, the artificial sweeteners in the "diet" variety, and the artificial flavorings in squash. Water is by far the simplest option;
SAUSAGES - just think of all that faaaaat;
CHIPS - what did we say about sausages?
WHITE BREAD, which does have its plus points, such as calcium, but with relatively little fibre there are better sources of calcium;
BUNS - what's so good about sugar, sugar and more sugar?
CHEESE - this is where you should get your calcium, but don't overdo it, think about eating small amounts of strong-tasting cheese.


Eating "good carbs" such as whole grain starches in oat meal, 
brown rice and whole wheat, triggers a slow and more controlled release of insulin, which in turn aids the transport of tryptophan to the brain and so reduces the cravings.
