Now before you think this dietitian has gone mad, I want you to ponder the concept that the food and lifestyle choices you make between New Year and Christmas far outweigh those choices you make between Christmas and New Year.
Christmas, and indeed any festive occasion, is certainly a time when we can simply enjoy food for no other reason than pure joy. That said, this is no excuse for an all out food frenzy.
This ‘silly season’, embrace the festivities with a healthy amount of holiday cheer, and a game-plan that won’t see you derail your health goals – here are my Three Top Tips!
Make a Commitment
Selectively choose a few occasions to relax the way you eat, and then outside of these times, reel it back in. Make a plan and stick to it.
Don’t Go Hungry
Saving your appetite never works. Focus on eating balanced meals, eat with joy and truly savour each mouthful so you can tune into the full experience of eating.
No to ‘Top-ups’
Saying, “yes” to top-ups can quickly see those pesky kilos creep on, so make it a rule to finish your glass before accepting another – and be sure to drink plenty of water in between.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas!
