The festive season is here! It crept on us so quickly (well for me at least). As you embrace the festivities and all that comes with it. Here are some tips to keep on the healthy track (where possible).
Festive Season tips
- Avoid “dieting” over the festive period. Rather practice mindfulness, portion control and moderation. This will give you the freedom to enjoy yourself without feeling deprived or the temptation to rebel.
- Normal routines tend to fall by the wayside over Christmas time. Take time to plan ahead and make sure you have healthy food choices in the house. You don’t want to eat the wrong foods just because that’s all you have available.
- Make an effort to continue to exercise over this time.If your usual classes aren’t operating, choose other options such as brisk walks with family and friends.
- Don’t go to a party hungry. If you do, you’ll be fighting your cravings for sugar. Having a healthy snack before you leave home will keep those unnecessary cravings at bay.
- Practice portion control – particularly fast release carbohydrates .
- Drink plenty of water. This will help you not to over eat and will also improve how you feel the next day!
- Go easy on yourself. If you do happen to overindulge, enjoy the moment and then get back on track afterwards.
- Have fun!
* You are in charge of what you put in your body!!
Wishing you a happy and relaxing festive season and lots of self-love and happiness in 2023.
