Does that sound like you? Can you survive Christmas?
My advice to you... DO NOT TRY TO DIET! Set out to maintain your current weight & give yourself a chance by having some healthier foods around you.Plan well.
And if you can add in some exercise - be it at a gym, at home, on a bike, or just walking out in the fresh air, you will burn up excess calories.
Be kind to yourself & think of how you want to feel after eating... full & bloated, or pleasantly satisfied? In my experience nibbling is many peoples downfall. Make sure you buy olives, seeded bread sticks, nuts in shells (& the nut crackers!), chestnuts (low in calories) & plenty of crudites (raw carrot, celery, pepper, cucumber radish etc) to dunk in tomato salsa, guacamole or hummus.
If you have a sweet tooth melt some high cocoa content dark chocolate & dip in some strawberries, pineapple chunks or kiwi fruit - delicious when others are diving into the pick n mix selection! Brazil nuts are lovely coated in dark chocolate too. Don't deprive yourself as it can often lead to over eating!
I also want to let you all know that DUE TO AN AMAZING RESPONSE I AM ADDING A 3RD ZEST4LIFE CLASS IN JANUARY! So if you are truly fed up with years of yo-yoing do get in touch & I'll explain why the low GL diet really works.
Finally I want to thank everyone for taking the time to read my blogs & wish you all a very happy Christmas & a peaceful New Year.
