In general, we eat too much. We’ve been told this by doctors, sportsmen, professors and politicians.
Most of us would like to cut down our daily intake, particularly if it helped cut down our dress size, but it just isn’t that easy.
Ditching the lasagne for a pile of spinach and low-fat dressing is rarely an appealing prospect, but there is another way.
Instead of skipping meals or replacing foods that taste terribly great with those that taste greatly terrible we should all be trying to focus on the little things. Rather than carving great chunks willy-nilly out of our daily eating habits we should continually skim the surface.
Try, for example, mustard. No, you don’t have to stuff your face with kale, you can just replace mayo with mustard and make a difference that will last a lifetime.
You can also have your cake, and eat it. Just scrape off the icing beforehand and you’ll be surprised how much guilt you’ve just saved yourself.
Follow these tips and you could cut 400kj out of your daily diet by barely doing anything.
