How we eat determines what we eat

Lori Lipinski is a dietician who drew this cartoon. Her concern is that the way we eat has an impact on what we eat. If you are eating on the hoof, you will be eating more foods which are high in fat and sugar.

As I have mentioned before, eating mindfully will help you control your eating and thereby control your weight. Be aware of what you are eating. Notice what you are eating. And enjoy it.

Lori's 7 tips for eating well are here.

How to lose weight

Well, this advert from the Olden Days suggested eating tapeworms. We don't recommend this!

But (on the basis of a few small changes every week) here are some things to consider.

Cut out fizzy drinks. One can a day could result in 15lbs weight gain a year.

Reduce the number of takeaways. You have no idea of how much fat they contain - though you can see the yellow or orange oil floating on the surface.

Stop buying food in sacks or buckets. Buy small quantities so you don't feel the need to eat just to create space in the cupboard.

Use smaller plates.
