Do you write a list?
Planning meals, how do you plan your weekly meals?
if the answer is
“I don’t”
what do you do, open the fridge and hope a home made lasagne will jump out, open the freezer and grab 6 fish fingers and a few frozen chips (um lovely) or make a sandwich!
It has been proven that making a list and shopping for the correct ingredients will help you to eat a healthy well balanced meal.
Note: I did not say…… help you lose weight!
Firstly think about what you are eating, how much and when, 3 important factors to you loosing weight.
