1. Portion control. Buy smaller cuts of meat and measure things like rice and pasta so you don't make to much - too tempting to eat leftovers, best to make only what you need.
2. Freeze leftovers or throw them in the bin. Temptation gone!
3. Drink less alcohol and more water or herbal tea. Buy low-cal beer and use it to make shandy with diet lemonade as an alternative.
4. Do some housework. 200-400 calories an hour depending on how vigorous you're working!!
5. Park further away or leave the car at home.
6. Take the stairs.
7. Play with your kids or a pet in the garden.
8. Do some gardening.
9. Substitute fatty sauces for low-fat or no-fat. For example, I use no-fat yoghurt instead of mayonnaise with tikka masala spice mix or mint to make dips. Substitute for cream and mayo in loads of recipes.
10. Leave your rowing machine (or whatever) out in front of the tv and use it every advert break - if you don't have one, do some sit-ups.
