5 Eating tips for dropping those extra winter kilos

Bye, bye winter kilos

Ready to get rid of those few extra winter kilos? Spring is a great time to create a couple of healthy eating resolutions for the rest of the year.

Here are five tips to help you slim your waistline and adopt healthier eating habits at the same time:

Eat your way slim

1. When eating out, watch out for high-sodium foods. These include anything that's pickled, smoked, or served in a broth.

2. If you aren't already – start eating supper together as a family. Studies in 2011 showed that families who eat together make healthier food choices.

3. Eat a colourful plate. This doesn't only get you excited about eating healthy food, but you'll also be ingesting a variety of nutrients at the same time.

4. Go for great carbohydrates at each meal, such as oatmeal, brown rice, quinoa, and whole wheat pasta or bread.

5. Start making up snack packs at home to take with you to work. Eating smaller, healthy meals throughout the day is a great way to up your energy levels and keep your metabolism going.
