Shaping Up for Christmas!
With Christmas parties and New Year celebrations looming, there are plenty of reasons to want to look your best for this time of year.
If you want to indulge in the Christmas festivities without the worry of gaining loads of extra weight, then eating 300- 500 calories less on the days that you are not eating out, entertaining friends or sitting down to roast dinner with the family, could help you to avoid piling on the pounds.
Here are a few suggestions that might help you save on calories:
1) Substitute fizzy drinks for water.
2) Restrict yourself to 100 calorie snacks
3) Reduce the size of your lunch – make your own low fat version sandwiches or choose soups to fill you up and keep you warm.
4) Minimise your intake of sugary snacks and crisps – eat fruit if you’re hungry.
5) Control your beer and alcohol consumption – or save drinking for parties and special occasions.
