It has come for that time of year, holiday time. A time when people stress over gaining weight from the Christmas Cheer. It's common for most women to gain 1-5kg over the Christmas period. So why is this time of year any different from another?
The three reasons: over-eating, consuming more alcohol, not exercising.
These are easy to overcome. Fill up on fruits, salads and vegetables, use a smaller plate when eating a meal.
When drinking have a glass of soda water with lime and ice. Make up non alcoholic versions of your favourite drinks, drink water between each alcoholic beverage.
Get out and play games with the kids, go for a walk after lunch, try a new sport or activity. Get out and enjoy the Summer Sun!
