Eat regularly

'Eating irregularly forces your body to be reactive instead of proactive,' says Lucy Jones, dietician for Channel 4's The Food Hospital.

'Because it doesn't know when your next meal is coming, it releases too much insulin to store that meal as soon as possible. Doing this too often can cause weight gain, insulin resistance and even lead to diabetes.

'But eating at the same time every day trains your body to be proactive, so it only releases the right amount of insulin. You'll also have much more stable blood sugar levels and avoid falling into the trap of craving junk food.'
