Tips for Christmas day

The festive season is not the easiest time to be watching your waistline. If you are trying to lose weight, your main goal over this period should be to at least maintain your current weight. On Christmas Day, try these:

• Start your day with a low fat, high fibre breakfast (you will have enough treats later on).
• Go for a walk before you go to your party or before your guests arrive.
• Try not to snack on unhealthy foods before lunch. Instead try vegetable sticks with low fat dips, rice crackers, fresh fruit and berries.
• Have something to eat before you go to a party, as chances are there will only be high fat choices to eat once you are there.
• If you are in charge of preparing the Christmas meal, think of low fat options such as the increasingly popular seafood and salad.
• Try not to overeat at the main Christmas meal. If you are eating high fat options, try to keep them to a minimum. If the main meal is at lunch, make dinner very light, or vice versa.
• Play outside with the kids, before and after lunch. Start a game of backyard cricket or football.
