Episode notes
Make One Small Change
- Pick one small change and follow it for a month rather than overhauling everything at once.
- One extra piece of fruit daily adds fibre and can reduce lifetime cancer risk by ~13 percent.
Start Meals With Fruit Or Salad
- Eat a piece of fruit before lunch and dinner to mildly reduce intake and lose about a pound a month.
- Choose a watery starter like melon or salad rather than high-calorie options like avocado.
Use Your Hand To Size Plates
- Use your outstretched hand to judge a sensible plate size and balance your plate with a third to half veg.
- Split the remaining plate between carbs and protein to avoid overeating from oversized plates.
