Here are our major tips for managing the festive season so you and your waistline survive better than ever!
Take smaller portions than usual
Put smaller amounts into your mouth and be mindful while eating
Chew
each mouthful very well, putting down your cutlery between bites. This
will help you register when you feel full, rather than getting the
signal too late. Some fabulous recent studies have shown that smaller
mouthfuls and more chewing correlates directly with a reduced intake of
kilojoules. When there is less to burn, there is less to potentially
'wear'.
Be sure to eat
plenty of fresh vegetables and salads as these help to reduce acidity
in your body - acidity increases inflammation and discomfort
Exercise each day for at least 45 minutes
Have a glass of water between alcoholic drinks and put your hand up to be skipper so you can't have more than a couple
Write down everything you eat and drink in a food diary
(print this out to use if you like). There are many studies that show
that people who keep a food diary are far more likely to succeed at
reducing their weight or keeping a healthy weight than those who don't.
Choose
fruit for dessert rather than creamy rich concoctions, or at the very
least, share dessert and don't have a whole one to yourself
When
you meet with friends and family, make it an outdoor venue when
possible and play games like cricket and volley ball to burn off the
extra kilojoules
Have a lot of laughs and loads of fun as both of these reduce acidity in your body
