Getting started yourself? Then keep the following tips in mind:
Meals
- Use lean meats.
- Use red sauces, such as ketchup or chili sauce.
- Make your own sauces based on low-fat yogurt or low-fat cottage cheese.
- Do you go gourmet? Also consider baking all kinds of vegetables, such as onion rings, peppers, zucchini or mushrooms.
- Eat slowly: fry one piece of meat and eat it. Only then take another piece of meat to prepare.
Dining out
- Avoid going to the table hungry. Therefore, do not skip meals this day, but choose lean products. If you sit down to the table later than usual, you can eat something small beforehand, such as a piece of fruit or a bowl of yogurt.
- Serve the sauce or dressing separately with the dish. You can then decide for yourself how much of this you want to take.
- Opt for a two-course dinner. Have a starter and a main course or a main course and dessert. This way you save calories, but you can still participate.
- Eat slowly and pause occasionally while eating. Put your cutlery down regularly.
