3. 31% of us don't trust the nutrition labels on pre-packaged food. We often don't know the difference between similar pieces of information, such as fat and saturated fat and are confused by the serving suggestion.
4. Eat within half an hour of waking up otherwise you will be running on adrenalin through the day, leaving you prone to early morning wakefulness the following day.
5. Leave any leftover foods on the kitchen worktop rather than serving dishes in the centre of the dining table will make you mindful of how much you're eating if you reach for second. Once cooled, freeze for a later date.

8. Aim to include red, orange and green food on your plate at every meal. By this becoming your focus you'll be sure to start eating a wider range of fruits and vegetables.
