It’s not too late to start losing weight. Read on for our top ten tips on how you can attend all of those celebrations, enjoy your favorite Christmas treats and enjoy yourself - and still lose weight!
1. Don’t cut out all the food you enjoy. Switch to lower-fat alternatives or smaller versions. Use an olive oil spray for frying. Cut the visible fat off steak and grill it instead of frying. Choose low fat cheese, sunflower spread instead of butter, skimmed milk. If you crave chocolate go for treat-size not king-size. When eating out you’ll find that many restaurants now point out the healthy options in their menus. You can also help yourself - don’t use the butter pat that comes with your jacket potato. Order salad but ask them to hold the mayonnaise dressing. Decline the Parmesan cheese to top your pasta. Choose fruit juice mixers instead of soda.
