1 Eat protein at every meal
Proteins have a very low glycaemic index, so your hunger will be under control until your next meal. Healthy sources include: chicken, prawns, fish, semi-skimmed milk, yogurt, boiled or poached eggs, ham, hard cheese and tofu. But avoid eating too many protein-rich foods at one sitting, as this can result in the build-up of acids that the kidneys will ?nd hard to eliminate.
2 Go easy on processed foods
This includes factory-produced foods like sausages, sliced bread and biscuits. Instead, go for fresh produce, and eat plenty of fruit and vegetables.
3 Chew food thoroughly
This aids digestion. "If you eat too fast, the pieces are too big for your stomach to deal with, so they will get stored as fat - resulting in weight gain," says Dr Yann.
4 Steer clear of ‘light’ dairy products
Full-fat yogurt and cheese are less processed and more satisfying. But always have semi-skimmed milk. Soya milk and soya-based desserts are no-nos; they are rich in protein, but it?s the kind that can't be absorbed easily. Tofu is, however, fine.
5 Go for sourdough, rye or multigrain bread
If you can't live without bread, choose any of these - sourdough being the best as it contains a diferent kind of starch, which causes fewer spikes in blood-glucose levels.
6 Avoid sweeteners
Your taste receptors are fooled by sweeteners, and your brain responds as if they were sugar, messing up your metabolism. Use real sugar, but use less.
7 Take a supplement
Some people swear by products like Turboslim Chronoactiv. This claims to provide active ingredients at diferent times of the day to either strengthen or slow down certain metabolisms.
