Get some healthy cookbooks and recipes and don't put as much food on your plate as what you usually would.Nicole - Kewdale WA
The trick to getting kids to eat their vegetables is to get them to grow them first. Simple as throwing some seedlings in a bag of good quality compost, water and wait for harvest. My kids can't wait to eat their home grown vegetables.Kaydee - Milsons Point NSW
Don't just eat steamed veggies - learn some recipes for vegetable soup, vegetable terrine and other ways to eat them as the main part of the meal rather than the side dish.Riya - Glendenning NSW
Have celery, carrot sticks or cereal with sultanas or berries for a quick afternoon snack.Meagan - Mentone VIC
If you have a exercise bike or treadmill at home that you rarely use, put it in front of the TV or listen to motivating music while you exercise. You will be surprised how quickly the time can fly by. Also try setting yourself targets eg. run/ cycle 2km today and 2.5km tomorrow etc.Lou - Ferntree Gully VIC
While preparing your evening meal, when your children are hungry and hovering, chop up some salad vegies and put them on a plate for each child (and yourself). It stops bad snacking and means you don't have to nag about finishing the cooked vegies of dinner.
meg - Putney NSW Tip of the Week - Week Ending 23 May 2009
Practice eating slowly and enjoy still eating whilst others are well and truly finished their meal. MegTrudi - Adelaide SA
Increase your intake of fresh leafy greens each day. I blend mine in a smoothie with sweet fruits with a ratio of 60% fruit 40% greens and drink it each morning for breakfast.
pinkcow - Takura QLD Tip of the Week - Week Ending 30 May 2009
Try to have a side salad with your evening meal. Raw, fresh vegies are great. Adding a side salad is easy. Don't just use the usual, try raw broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, zucchini, beetroot. Grate it sometimes, dice or slice. Add variety and lots of different colours. Try it occasionally with an organic, fat free dressing. Eaten before your main meal will reduce the amount you eat.September Tips
