I have decided to transition to a healthy life style for better living and weight loss. However, with my full schedule, it’s difficult for to consume a prepared meal every time, thus I often resort to snacks and ‘fill-me-ups’. I wanted to know how I can learn to eat healthily, and learn to enjoy cooking while also trying to cure my sugar cravings. Any thoughts and tips would be highly appreciated.
breakfast - wholegrain cereal such as weetabix with skimmed milk and fruit
snack - banana
lunch - wholemeal bread chicken and salad sandwich or tuna pasta salad and a piece of fruit
Dinner - grilled meat or fish, salad or veg and small jacket potato or tinned new potatoes.
Snacks - sugar free jello or low fat yoghurt or handful of nuts

When you need a chocolate fix instead of wolfing down a bar just have 1 or two cubes and suck them for maximum flavour, minimum calories. Eat fruit or sugar free jelly for sweet puddings.
if you need icecream go for a frozen yoghurt desert rather than traditional icecream - it is much lower in fat - make it an occasional treat.
if you need a sweet snack have a currant bun rather than a cake - less fat sugar and calories.
If you pick in the evenings have a bowl iof chopped fruit rather than sweets.
Lightly salted popcorn is lower in calories than potato crisps.
