Planning ahead significantly regulates changes in dietary habits: - Make a shopping list before going to the store and plan your meals. - Manage a stocked fruit bowl at home for rapid, low-kilojoule snacks. - Diversify your meals to resist boredom and maintain motivation. - Go through online resources for interesting and easy recipes, and make sure to try out some of the new ingredients. - Save time by cooking in bulk by preparing soups, stews, casseroles, and bolognese sauce in bulk quantities and freeze them in portions for later utilization.
