1. Swap refined white bread with wholegrain. The bran and germ is removed in the refining process, so fibre and vitamins B and E are lost.
2. Add legumes (baked beans, kidney beans, dried peas and lentils) - I adore barbecued lamb rump served on lentils.
3. Sprinkle a mixture of seeds (about 2 tsp) onto your breakfast cereal.
4. Eat whole fruit instead of juice as juice contains no fibre.
5. Eat hummus with carrots as a snack instead of chips with creamy dip.
