We all want to look our best at Christmas time, but with the buffet blowouts, it can be a challenge. ‘There are so many opportunities at this time of year to overeat and feel bad, however, you can still enjoy the party without feeling rubbish the next morning,’ says Marina Newington, nutritionist and health coach. All it takes is a little know-how from our experts…
DON’T GET SWEPT UP
It can be helpful to view Christmas time as a series of events, rather than a free pass to indulge throughout the entire month. ‘There might be a few more celebrations than your average month, but where many people run into trouble is through daily excess,’ says nutritionist Kim. ‘Enjoy yourself when it’s time to celebrate and in between, aim to maintain your usual healthy lifestyle.’ Get your diary out and plan the key events that you’ll want to enjoy. Then, in the days around them, make sure you eat well and exercise, so you don't feel guilty on the indulgent days.
