Add healthy supplements
To ensure a good balance of nutrients, consume two measured servings of milk or cheese every day – your ‘a’ Extra Healthy options. Options: 350ml skim milk or 250ml semi-skim milk; 40g reduced-fat hard cheese or 30g whole cheese; 50g mozzarella (from cow’s milk); 45g feta cheese or 35g Danish blue cheese, which can be consumed as part of a lunch or snack. Also eat a serving of wholemeal bread or cereal for breakfast every day – your ‘b’ healthy eating option. To make it easy, we’ve included your option b, Healthy Supplement, in your menu plan for each day.
Choose your symptoms
Foods and drinks that pose a risk to your weight loss, those that are high in fat or sugar, and alcohol can be consumed as a carefully calculated sin. We recommend that you plan between 5 and 15 syn in your day (see the bottom of the next page for some ideas).
Make simple changes
Choose lean meat and remove visible fat to protect against weight loss: cut white bits off bacon and skin off poultry. Use a low-fat cooking spray instead of fat or oil, replace sugar with sweetener and cream and crème fraîche with non-fat yoghurt or fresh cheese.
