Indulgences or extras are high in energy (kilojoules or calories) and provide little of the vitamins and minerals we need, for example deep fried foods, cake, doughnuts, chocolate, cookies, chips, pies, pasties, candy, processed meat, soda/soft drink and pizza.

These foods are not ‘bad’ foods ‐ they are simply ‘occasional’ foods.

Aim to limit take‐away foods, such as pastries, pies, pizza, fried fish, hamburgers, hot chips and creamy pasta dishes. Further, sugary, fatty and salty snack foods, such as crisps, cakes, pastries, cookies, candy and chocolate should also be limited.

It would not be reasonable to tell yourself to never eat these foods. The more you tell yourself you must never eat something, the more you will want it. Healthy living is about balance. Indulge in something you enjoy occasionally.

“I am able to embrace ‘SOMETIMES FOOD’ thinking. I find that special foods are even more enjoyable than ever because I take time to eat it slowly, savor it, and eat guilt free.”
