Trying to lose weight? Make a point of not overindulging over Easter. A 100 g Easter egg made of milk chocolate adds 2 240 kilojoules and 27 g of fat to your daily intake. If you eat more than one of these eggs, you are loading your body with 5 000 extra kilojoules and 54 g of fat.

Take action:
Make a conscious decision to stick to a low-fat, high-fibre diet. Here are some suggestions for an Easter breakfast: freshly squeezed orange juice or sliced melon (rich in vitamin C and beta-carotene, with few kilojoules); low-fat yoghurt (rich in calcium); hard-boiled, brightly-coloured hen’s eggs instead of chocolate eggs; bran muffins made with strawberry jam instead of hot-cross buns; and coffee or tea with skim milk.

Any questions? Ask DietDoc.
