- Remember Christmas is for one day and one day only, do not let the overindulging last for the whole week. Once the day is over start saying no to all that chocolate.
- Don't overeat just for the sake of it. If you are full, do not eat it. If you like to try a bit of everything, have a very small piece or portion of the treats you really really want.
- Try not to snack on everything after the meal, wait until you need food again rather than snacking your way to mid-night.

- Start your Christmas day well, have a healthy filling breakfast so you can't overindulge at lunch.
- Try to fill your plate with more vegetables about half a plate, then around a quarter with meat, watch out for those roast potatoes.
- If you can go for a Christmas walk to see the lights around where you live get going, every little helps.
- Avoid the sauces, try not to put the whole bowl on your plate, aim for a spoonful of gravy rather than smothering your dinner in it.
HAVE A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS AND STAY FIT!!
