Eat one meal without your phone. Notice the taste, and notice when you start to feel satisfied.
Start the day fuelled
A breakfast with some protein and fibre — eggs on toast, yoghurt with fruit and oats — helps steady your energy and focus through the morning.
Half a plate of colour
At lunch and dinner, aim for about half your plate to be vegetables or fruit. Frozen counts.
Drink water through the day
Thirst can feel like tiredness or hunger. Keep a bottle with you.
Don’t skip meals
Skipping meals leads to brain fog and feeling ravenous later. Regular meals keep things calm.
Mostly nourishing, sometimes just for joy
Most of your food can be about fuel; some can be purely for fun. Birthday cake is part of a healthy life. No guilt required.

Foods like avocado, nuts, seeds, olive oil and oily fish help your body make hormones and absorb vitamins. They belong in a healthy diet.
