FACT -The average
person puts on approximately 7lb over the christmas holiday!!
With a bit of forethought we can manage
christmas and weight gain and still enjoy the festivities.
My 5 Top Tips To Avoid Weight Gain Over Christmas!
- Christmas is just one day!!- Avoid buying in more than is needed...do you really need 3 boxes of biscuits...really??- If it's there you WILL eat it!- If you are hosting xmas dinner, give away the box of mince pies that were not eaten as a leaving gift (get rid!)
- Eat slowly, savor the taste and eat meals guilt free- Enjoy christmas dinner, no need to restrict but just watch the unnecessary snacking between meals and when cooking (Remember little pickers wear big knickers!)- Everything in moderation...don't over do it but also don't deprive yourself either as YOU WILL cave in eventually and do more damage.
- Keep active- Enjoy a festive winter walk during the holiday to walk off a few calories- Complete your MisFit Mamas Postnatal Home-based Fitness Programme at least twice per week (if purchased)
- Drinks contain calories too!- If drinking alcohol use diet mixers, measured shorts are usually lower in calories than wine- Drink plenty of water in between drinks (hydration is a must for weight loss and breastfeeding!)- Limit fresh juice to one per day (it only counts once as one of your 5-a-day and is full of sugar!)
- Tomorrow is another day- Avoid indulging for 2 whole weeks....it will be much harder to get back on track. Whatever happens today, tomorrow is another day...more opportunity to eat well, move more and feel great!
