According to the British Dietetic Society, the average person gains 6 lbs over the festive season! I strongly believe you should kick Christmas back into the end of December and not be tempted by all of the 2 for 1 offers on goodies now.
Having said that I fully understand that some people want to spread the cost and buy items when they are on offer.
So I highly RECOMMEND WRITING A LIST of what you want. DO NOT DEVIATE or you will end up eating Christmas food in January - believe me I've done it!
You do not need to stockpile as though there is a seige - the shops will reopen!
Here are a few ideas for healthier choices:
- filo pastry mince pies approx 90 calories & luxury deep filled are 3 times that.
- 100g rich fruit cake approx 330 calories : double that with marzipan & icing.
- standard Xmas Pud approx 300 calories in 100g - luxury versions will be more.
- brandy butter is about 10 times the calories of fat free greek yoghurt with a little brandy added for flavour!
Worth thinking about?............
Happy Eating,
Bev
