Change4Life for Adults 

1. What is one of the best ways to be healthy? One of the best ways to be healthy is to make some exercise and food swaps, and build them into your life for the long term.

Portion Swap

2. What is the problem with portion sizes today? The problem these days is larger portion sizes are more readily available. We often end up eating too much and not burning it off, without even realising we're doing it.

3. Suggest three swaps you can make to reduce your portion size.  Any combination of the following: use smaller plates, fill up on fruit and vegetables, eat a little slower, share packaged foods, focus on your food, aim to feel satisfied, not stuffed

4. What counts as high fat, high sugar and high salt on nutritional labels?

• High fat is more than 20g per 100g 
• High sugar is more than 15g per 100g 
• High salt is more than 1.5g per 100g

Snack Swap

5. How does eating fatty or sugary snacks lead to weight gain? Our bodies are geared up for storing fat, so eating fatty or sugary snacks is a very quick way of adding to our fat stores, which can lead to weight gain.

6. List three tips to help curb snacking.  Any combination of the following:

• If we buy snacks, we'll eat them - one of the best ways to cut back on snacking is not buying them in the first place. 

• If we can see food, it's human nature to want to eat it. Keep snacks hidden away so you're not tempted. 

• We're less likely to eat snacks if they're harder to get to. Keep the unhealthy snacks at the back or top of the cupboard. 

• Don't eat straight out of a big packet of snacks (it could make us eat up to ¼ more without even realising it). Instead, put your snacks in a small bowl. 

• If you have a healthy breakfast in the morning you're less likely to want to snack before lunch. Eating distractedly e.g. in front of the TV, means we eat more without noticing or even enjoying it. Swap the TV for the table.
