Skin snacks: be good to your body and eat veggies that have Vitamin A. Both carrots and sweet potatoes are a good source of this vitamin, so why not bake some carrot crisps or sweet potato fries using coconut oil. Super tasty.

 

Lower-calorie carbs: A recent study by scientists in Sri Lanka claimed if you chill rice for 12 hours (after boiling) the calorie content was reduced by up to 50%. They claimed this method changed the starch into ‘resistance starch’ that can’t be digested so easily. Could curry just have got a little health kick? Why not add a spoonful of coconut to your rice for some extra nutty flavour.
