Healthy eating tips
Pick good-quality proteins without too much unhealthy (saturated) fat such as lean meat and chicken, fish, eggs, nuts, low-fat dairy products (and dairy substitutes), tofu and legumes (lentils and beans). The best news is lots of these good-quality proteins are on the ZeroPoint™ foods list.
Eat a rainbow of colours to get a wide range of nutrients. Fresh produce is important for good health and should make up the bulk of your diet, with five servings of vegetables a day and two of fruit.
Keep heathy snacks on hand to boost your energy and concentration, control blood sugar and insulin levels. When it comes to managing or losing weight, a nutritious snack can help keep your appetite on an even keel and prevent overeating at mealtime.
