In a world of packaged and processed foods, snacks on the go and tricky food labels how do we eat well in a way that keeps us healthy and keeps the weight off?

The secret is to know which foods to snack on, and which foods to include in your daily meals.

Berries of any kind make for a great between-meals snack. You can choose strawberries, blackberries, blueberries or raspberries - they're all high in vitamins and anti-oxidants and fibre. Fibre is the key - it helps fill you up and therefore negates the need to snack on junk food.

Minestrone Soup - just like mum made is great for you and also helps reduce your need to keep on eating. Full of veggies and liquid which fills you up and provides loads of mineral and vitamin goodness.

Eggs are great - they contain around 75 calories and plenty of protein so that you feel full. There is research to indicate two a day for breakfast will help you control your calorie intake over the next 24 hours.

Olives contain unsaturated fat (which is good for you) and fat takes longer for the body to absorb, so you end up feeling full longer and therefore eat less.

Spinach contains loads of fibre and just 41 calories per cup so spinach in almost any form satisfies hunger and fills you up so you eat less food overall.

What a recent customer said:

" Wonderful prompt service. Very reasonably priced. My husband wears his penicillin alert proudly. So comfortable and not a danger to wear like a chain which can get caught in machinery. His friends all want to know where he got it. Ordered a second one just in case."
