6 eating styles that make you fat

You’re hooked on the fast fix

You know you should eat fresh, cook from scratch and check food labels but poor planning and lack of time mean you often miss breakfast and then grab a pastry at 11, or find yourself stocking up on ready meals at the end of the day. You rely far more than you should on processed food, high in calories, sugar and salt.

Change your style Make a commitment that for at least a week you'll eat fresh whole food as often as possible. Give yourself a little more time to plan, shop for and enjoy cooking. You'll feel more connected with your food, enjoy it more and that'll give you the impetus to skip ready-made food and get back to basics.
