Try these tips:
• Drink plenty of water, even when it's cold this helps suppress your appetite and keeps your system working smoothly.
• When making stock for soups and stews, pour it into a jug and stand it in the fridge overnight. This allows all the fat to rise to the surface and solidify. Scrape it off, and you have fat-free stock.
• Use tomato-based sauces for pasta, rather than cream-based ones. Make white sauce and mashed potatoes with low-fat or skim milk to cut down on the fat content.
• Don't add sugar to vegetables. Oven-roast them, instead, to bring out their natural sweetness.
• Make chunky vegetable and bean soups, and eat them without bread. Vegetables and legumes keep you feeling full for longer, while bread boosts your blood sugar level and then drops it, leaving you craving more food.
