Plan your day to prevent weight gain

Prevent gaining unnecessary weight by planning your day. Here are some ideas that may help.

Start by planning your meals. For example, have a healthy breakfast at home, lunch at work and dinner at home again. Ensure that you always have plenty of fresh supplies in stock. If planning to eat out, do some research ahead of time. For example, look at a few menus of different restaurants so that you can have adequate time to find meal options that suit you.

Keep healthy snacks on hand too. Grab a few bags or packets of fruit over the weekend so that you have sufficient to take you right through the week.

If possible, prepare meals ahead of time as this will reduce the temptation to buy out or get takeaways if you are running late. You can either cook extra food and freeze it (if possible), or prepare some meals over the weekend and freeze so that all you have to do is defrost and pop into the oven.

In addition, also try to run errands around your meal times as opposed to during meal times as this will prevent you from buying unhealthy ‘on-the-go’ meals which may often be loaded with heaps of calories.

Don’t forget to budget some time for a good dose of exercise too!
