Do not skip breakfast Skipping breakfast will not help you lose weight. You could miss out on essential nutrients and you may end up snacking more throughout the day because you feel hungry. 2. Eat regular meals Eating at regular times during the day helps burn calories at a faster rate. It also reduces the temptation to snack on foods high in fat and sugar. Find out more about eating heathily 3. Eat plenty of fruit and veg Fruit and veg are low in calories and fat, and high in fibre – 3 essential ingredients for successful weight loss. They also contain plenty of vitamins and minerals. Read up on getting your 5 A Day 4. Get more active Being active is key to losing weight and keeping it off. As well as providing lots of health benefits, exercise can help burn off the excess calories you cannot lose through diet alone. Find an activity you enjoy and are able to fit into your routine. 5. Drink plenty of water People sometimes confuse thirst with hunger. You can end up consuming extra calories when a glass of water is really what you need. Read more about drinking water as part of a heathly diet 6. Eat high fibre foods Foods containing lots of fibre can help keep you feeling full, which is perfect for losing weight. Fibre is only found in food from plants, such as fruit and veg, oats, wholegrain bread, brown rice and pasta, and beans, peas and lentils. 7. Read food labels Knowing how to read food labels can help you choose healthier options. Use the calorie information to work out how a particular food fits into your daily calorie allowance on the weight loss plan. Find out more about reading food labels 8. Use a smaller plate Using smaller plates can help you eat smaller portions. By using smaller plates and bowls, you may be able to gradually get used to eating smaller portions without going hungry. It takes about 20 minutes for the stomach to tell the brain it's full, so eat slowly and stop eating before you feel full. 9. Do not ban foods Do not ban any foods from your weight loss plan, especially the ones you like. Banning foods will only make you crave them more. There's no reason you cannot enjoy the occasional treat as long as you stay within your daily calorie allowance. 10. Do not stock junk food To avoid temptation, do not stock junk food – such as chocolate, biscuits, crisps and sweet fizzy drinks – at home. Instead, opt for healthy snacks, such as fruit, unsalted rice cakes, oat cakes, unsalted or unsweetened popcorn, and fruit juice. 11. Cut down on alcohol A standard glass of wine can contain as many calories as a piece of chocolate. Over time, drinking too much can easily contribute to weight gain.

Read More »Because mushrooms are porous, they tend to soak up liquid like a sponge. And once they get to this state, it's hard to make them crispy or flavorful—they're just too water-logged.
If you’re new to cooking mushrooms, first off, welcome to the club. Secondly, let's start with the biggest takeaway: Excess moisture is the enemy. If you’ve ever had disappointing ‘shrooms (read: slimy, mushy, or gray), it might be because you introduced too much liquid too early on. Because mushrooms are porous, they tend to soak up liquid like a sponge. And once they get to this state, it’s hard to make them crispy or flavorful—they’re just too water-logged. But if they need to be kept away from water, then what's the best way to clean mushrooms? The emphasis is on "clean"—which isn't the same as "wash." We recommend starting with a quick inspection before you get anywhere near the faucet. If you’re buying boxed mushrooms from the grocery store, you’re most likely going to get a squeaky clean box. After all, most mushrooms are grown in indoor farms, not harvested from the wild. Unless you see any glaring bits of dirt, you’re ready to get cooking. If you do find any with patches of dirt and grime, grab a dry cloth, paper towel, or, if you’re going above and beyond, a pastry brush, to wipe off any gross bits. Once they’re nice and clean, store them in a brown paper bag in the fridge. We recommend paper because plastic leads to condensation, which leads to slime. If a plastic bag is your only option, be sure to leave it partially open to ensure circulation. In the worst of cases—you know, the A&E-primetime-special-worthy horrors—give them a fast swish-swish in lukewarm water, then drain in a colander and immediately blot with a towel. Now cook them right away—washed mushrooms don’t keep well. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing: It’s a good reason to make mushroom carbonara tonight.
