Lifestyle choices that affect weight


  • eating processed or fast food that is high in fat,
  • not eating fruit, vegetables and unrefined carbohydrates, such as wholemeal bread and brown rice,
  • drinking too much alcohol - alcohol contains a lot of calories, and heavy drinkers are often overweight, and
  • eating out a lot - as you may have a starter or dessert in a restaurant, and the food can be higher in fat and sugar,
  • eating larger portions than you need - you may be encouraged to eat too much if your friends or relatives are also eating large portions, and
  • comfort eating - if you feel depressed or have low self-esteem you may comfort eat to make yourself feel better.
