Christmas day is a time to relax but should not get in the way of your weight loss journey. You can still enjoy the day with your family whilst eating healthily and without compromising the Christmas cheer. See our top tips to stay in ship shape this Christmas:

 

  • Healthy Breakfast

Make sure you eat a healthy breakfast that keeps you full until your Christmas lunch so there’s no room for snacking on mince pies. Porridge is a good option as it stabalises blood sugar levels.

  • Keep Hydrated

Drink between 6 to 8 glasses of water throughout the day. Not only does drinking plenty of water prevent any headaches from drinking one too many, it will also keep you feeling fuller and hence prevent you from wanting seconds.

Water and Weight Loss…

  • Healthy Starter

Go for a healthy starter so that you do not over indulge. A healthy soup, melon or smoked salmon offers light but healthy options.

  • Turkey Breast

The breast is the leanest part of meat on a Turkey, take off the skin and go for breast and enjoy your healthy but delicious dinner.

  • Limit your Alcohol

It’s Christmas and it wouldn’t be Christmas without a bit of cheer! So it is best to alternate between soft drinks and alcoholic drinks. Make your drink last longer by diluting your wine and spirits with ice and mineral water.

  • Get off the Couch for a Winter Walk

Whilst no one expects to go for a run or go to the 24 hour gym to burn off those mince pies ON Christmas day, it is best to go for a walk to break up the day. Walking is a great form of exercise and a good one to enjoy with the family.

  • Boxing Day Breakfasts = Eggs

Eggs are a great option for the morning after the night before. They provide choline, a nutrient that supports the liver. So why not make an omelette for Boxing day breakfast, adding all of your favourite vegetables in, giving you even more necessary nutrients to help you feel in tip top condition on what could be a delicate morning.
