Prevent weight gain by creating structure to meals

Creating structure to your meals as well as meal times may help you prevent putting on weight.

According to the journal Health Psychology, ‘a defined meal structure results in a greater weight loss than not having such a structure’.

Eat at regular times

Try consuming meals at regular pre-set times daily. For example eat lunch at noon and dinner at17h00, with a healthy snack in between. This will create an eating pattern that your body will adjust to. It will also prevent you from eating unnecessarily or rushing for a non nutritious take away when hunger calls.

Meal routine

According to dietitian Claire Julsing of Ann Till and Associates, getting into a meal routine will potentially limit the amount of food you consume daily and thereby reduce kilojoules.

Plan ahead

Creating  this kind of structure may also help you plan your meals more efficiently in order to ensure that they are balanced, nutritious and healthy. It may also allow you to make time for exercise as both meals and physical activity will be scheduled into your day.
