🎄Christmas Swaps and Tips for a less bloated Christmas!🎄

1. Instead of slumping on the sofa, get up and go for a brisk walk!

   You will burn more calories and be able to have a cheeky glass of Prosecco and get a better nights sleep

2. Swap cheese for a lighter version, saving on some calories and fat, stick to small matchstick box size cheese portions and serve with oatcakes, add pear, strawberries or grapes to add some of your 5 a day

3. Swap chocolates for some mixed nuts and dried fruit, the protein and healthy fats will make you feel fuller for longer

4. Fill up on veggies at Christmas dinner - put them on your plate first, chose a smaller plate to limit overfilling

5. Pop your favourite Christmas or dance tunes on in the kitchen when you are cooking your Christmas feast so you can have a bop and destress around your kitchen!

6. Keep you your water intake, if you are having an alcoholic drink, have a glass of water in between

7. Fill up on protein for your Christmas breakfast - Salmon, eggs and mushrooms sprinkled with seeds can fill you up for hours so you don't feel the need to reach for the choccies

8. Try to limit your cortisol - stress hormone, it can lead to added weight gain around your mid section - walk outside, take some deep breathes and try to get a good nights sleep

   Remember - If you get stressed during the Christmas cooking, Guests are there for your company, not just your cooking skills! So relax and enjoy!
