• Avoid consuming meat and promoting vegetarian meals (soy, legumes, Whole grains…) Or based on fish Skinny (cod, colin, white hake, sole ...).

• Prefer dishes without sauce and limit the quantities of starchy foods.

• Opt for steam or oven cooking and to avoid adding fat.

• Serve smaller plates, even if it means providing snacks between meals (a bowl of soup and fruit).
