We all overindulge at Christmas, and if you've been following my blogs this month you'll know that the average Brit gains half a stone - and then most diet like mad in January!
With a little planning you can still merrily munch your way through the festivities without feeling bloated and uncomfortable, and not have that weight gain to worry about.
- Eat breakfast on Christmas Day so you are less likely to snack on choccies before lunch.
- If you are putting nibbles out go for unsalted nuts, plain popcorn, roasted soya beans, olives, breadsticks, liquorice, dried fruit, satsumas or grapes.
- Serve heaps of vegetables with Christmas lunch, and eat them! Veggies are a fantastic source of nutrients and low in calories.
- Avoid feeling too full by eating slower - remember it takes about 20 minutes for your brain to realise your stomach has had enough!
- Be active! Go for a walk, play with the children, walk the dog, walk an elderly person's dog, sweep the snow off the drive, dance to MTV, play old games like Twister or Musical Chairs, buy a Wii with fitness games, or if all that fails have an early night!!
Feel great - have a very healthy Christmas!
