Clear away any food from sight as soon as you can after eating. People who leave food such as leftovers lying about in their kitchen, end-up eating almost twice as much compared to when they clear food away.
Have healthier options (vegetables, salads, fruits) more readily available and visible in your home. People tend to snack on foods that are 'to hand' or in eyesight - for example on the worktop or at the front of cupboards. If you buy high fat and high sugar foods, put them out of the way so that they're not an easy option.
Eat a healthy snack before going food shopping. People who are hungry when they go shopping for food don’t necessarily buy more food, but they:
- buy food which is about 50% higher in fat and/or sugar content
- buy more snack food
