Whether you’re taking part in the Special K Challenge or simply looking for helpful ways to improve your
diet and get more exercise, here are some handy tips to help you stay on track.

• Eat smaller portions.
• Drink up! Water is an essential part of a healthy diet. Nutritionists recommend drinking between 1.5 litres and 2 litres of water a day.
• Choose lean meats, skinless chicken and low-fat dairy foods.
• Upload a collection of your favourite tunes to listen to on your MP3 player while exercising.
• Try to get a good night’s sleep to help your body refuel.
• Remember to eat regular meals and have breakfast every day.
• Try to incorporate legumes and pulses such as beans and lentils into your diet. They’re full of fibre and a good source of protein.
• If you work in an office, try to get out for a brisk 10-20 minute walk during lunchtime.
• Try swapping your favourite food items with healthier alternatives.
• Remember to take time out for yourself and relax on a regular basis.
