As promised on Red Shift Radio's European Lunch show - here are my top tips again for cutting down on excess calories this Christmas.
The average person consumes a whopping 6,000 calories in just 1 day.... that's 3 days worth for the average woman!
If you take up all of the following suggestions you'll SAVE AROUND 1,000 CALORIES JUST ON LUNCH!...... SWAP:
1. White & dark turkey meat with skin, for just white meat.
2. Roast potatoes for a small jacket potato.
3. Sausage meat stuffing for chestnut & cranberry stuffing.
4. Chipolatas wrapped in bacon for Devil's on Horseback (prunes wrapped in thin, lean back bacon).
5. Bread sauce made with whole milk for one with skimmed milk.
6. Gravy made with turkey juices/fat for gravy granules and with water.
7. Christmas pudding & brandy butter for a filo pastry mince pie with 1/2 fat creme fraiche.
8. Sherry trifle for a fruit sorbet.
9. Hard cheese & biscuits for feta cheese & celery.
10. Foil covered chocolates for Turkish Delight.
And then there's the alcohol....
Have a Happy Christmas everyone!!
