One answer to this is to forget the diet until the new year and start again then!!!

This might lead to you feeling down after the holiday period is over so we have put together a list of the most popular holiday foods so you can be aware of what to avoid in excess! (calories per 100g)

Don’t feel that you have to indulge just because it’s Christmas, be sensible and don’t eat more than normal. Try not to eat too many nibbles such as nuts and chocolates, and stick to drinks like wine with soda, rather than creamy liquers.

Fit in as much exercise as possible, get on the dance floor at parties, and go for a refreshing walk after big meals! More importantly have a brilliant Christmas and enjoy yourselves! But do go easy on the exclamation marks!!!
