Here are some hints and tips which will help you enjoy your December holidays without having to worry:

  • Avoid going to parties hungry. Eat something light before the party to reduce your chances of snacking on high calorie party food. Some healthy snacks include biltong, a boiled egg, a block of cheese (not processed) or a cheese and tomato sandwich on low GI bread
  • Watch your portion sizes. Use a salad plate instead of a dinner plate. That way you are sure to eat less
  • Over the holidays you can also try activities such as skipping, walking, tennis, jogging, gardening, aerobics or just simply taking a walk on the beach. Regular exercise is responsible for up to 33 percent of your weight loss total and accelerates your metabolic rate.
