Christmas is probably the hardest time, to keep in shape, all those mince pies, all that chocolate....all those Christmas parties. They can all add on the pounds. Here are a few tips on how to keep the weight off while enjoying yourself at Christmas !
1. Keep an eye on the alcohol: Now I am not saying do not drink at christmas, as lets be honest about 90% of us will have a few too many in the festive period. A good idea though is to choose the correct drink! for example a double vodka and diet coke is roughly about 100 calories, while a pint or a cider is well over 200 !!
2. Keep up the excercise: OK, a lot happens in the festive period ... parties, xmas shopping, good tv etc. But try and keep up the excercise, especially as you will probably consume more calories over xmas so excercise and gym is more important than ever !!
3.Watch your portion sizes: Eat what ever you like, but the trick is keeping an eye on the size of the portions, as its too easy to have that extra few mince pies at the buffett, and eat that extra chocolate bar from your selection box.
4. Swap Fizzy drinks to diet fizzy drinks: A normal coke is about 100 calories, while a diet coke is about 1 calorie, that is a major difference ! while not trying to avoid those fizzy drinks.
5.Try and keep a lid on the sugar: Watch the amount of chocolate and sweets you eat, and maybe limit yourself to a specific amount a day.
