Fiona Hunter's healthy eating tips

Fiona Hunter began her career as a dietitian in the NHS before moving to one of the UK’s top magazines, where she spent 10 years writing about nutrition.

Fiona now provides nutritional advice for a variety of top companies. She is also a well known contributor for TV, radio, national newspapers and magazines.

Fiona has written several books including Power Juices, Great Food for Strong Bones, Eating to Beat Hypertension, The Natural Menopause cookbook and The GI plus diet.

But best of all, Fiona is a huge fan of turkey! "There are so many different ways to cook turkey that you could literally have it every night of the week without getting bored," she says. "I am a big believer in making small changes to our diet and life style. Over time these small changes mount up until, almost without our realising it, we find ourselves enjoying a healthier lifestyle. For instance, if we all included turkey in our diet just once a week we would soon start reaping the benefits of a healthier diet."

Fiona's healthy eating tips

• Try to incorporate more wholegrains in your diet. Choose brown rice instead of white – look out for delicious brown basmati and quick-cook brown rice.
• Mix cooked pureed spinach, carrots or shredded cabbage into mashed potatoes and serve with low fat turkey steaks for a balanced meal which will help increase your 5-a-day intake.
• Swap your regular latte for a skinny version – you can save 28g of saturated fat in just one week. Also choose low and reduced fat dairy products such as 1% fat milk and low fat yogurt.
