and still enjoy high-calorie
foods by having smaller
portions of it.

much food you are consuming.

seconds as this may defeat the
purpose of using smaller plates
in the first place.

require assistance in putting a
meal plan together. In addition,
you should always check with
your doctor before making
any drastic changes to your
diet, especially if you are under
medication or suffer from any
medical condition that has an
effect on your diet.
WHO enjoy
says you
can’t
have high-calorie foods at all,
if you are weight watching? It
may in fact not make much of a
difference, providing that it does
not get out of control and you
don’t do it too often!
Remember that it is okay to
treat yourself once in a while
and if it’s something delicious
that you simply can’t resist, enjoy
it. Just have smaller portions.
Use smaller plates for
high-calorie foods
Ensure that you have smaller
portions when consuming highcalorie
foods. Making use of
smaller plates or side plates will
be very useful in this regard.
Protein and
weight loss
Adding protein to your salad
can not only make it more appetising
and flavoursome, but it
will also help you to build more
muscle. Building muscle is great
for weight loss as it can help you
to burn more calories.
Which protein-rich
foods to add to salads?
Consider adding thinly sliced
pieces of roast chicken or
perhaps even little blocks of
smoked chicken to your salad.
You can alternatively add some
boiled eggs, salmon, tuna or
even shrimp to your salad. You
will be pleasantly surprised at
how delicious these ingredients
can taste in a salad if you have
never tried them before!
Vegetarian?
If you are a vegetarian, don’t
worry – there are options for you
too! Simply try adding some
cooked beans or perhaps even
some tofu to your salad. You will
not be able to resist the taste,
absolutely delicious!
Added bonus
Apart from helping you to build
muscle, protein will also help
you to stay full for longer. This
is great for weight loss as it will
help keep cravings at bay.
