Christmas is the time of year when its hardest to lose weight. However there are a number of strategies you can use to maintain weight loss.
Plan for the majority of food eaten over Christmas to be both tasty and healthy. Restrict food high in fat and sugar to a limited number of big favourites.
Chose a way of cooking meat that results in lower fat on your plate. Select deserts that include and are garnished with fruit rather than cream.
Plan Christmas day so you eat the main meal and then do something that doesn’t involve continuing to eat - avoid eating on and on. And a little bit of exercise never hurt anybody!
The Christmas period can easily end in a session of overeating from Christmas through to New Year so be selective in when you are going to have ’special’ meals and stick to normal, tasty meals at other times to lose weight.
In other words, keep making food a focus of Christmas but in such a way you continue to lose weight.
Enjoy losing weight over Christmas
