Look its so simple, being healthy means cut out the junk.  The odd bit of pizza or a slice of chocolate cake is fine.  But DO NOT stock up on rubbish, get it out of your house.  Its simply removing temptation.

Shop on a full stomach

This little trick goes hand in hand with the first tip.  If you shop on a full stomach there is less chance that you will want to buy the candy bars that Supermarkets love to have at the cash register, if you are already full.

Plan your meals

The planning bit is easy (check out our recipes) and plan your meals for a week, when you go shopping, buy the food you need and then spend the time cooking all your meals for the week ahead.  If you have a young family, get your kids involved.  They will love being involved planning and cooking food for the week.
