There will be several Christmas parties this year that will probably attend. It may a work party, school mums party, the neighbour's Christmas bash or any number of other groups to which you belong. They will have alcohol, soft drinks and food that is full of fat and sugar.
It can be tempting to fill your plate with all the delicious seasonal goodies and enjoy several drinks because it only happens once a year, everyone else is doing it and you feel that if you don't you won't enjoy yourself.
The great news is that you can drink, eat and enjoy yourself without going overboard, especially if you have several parties to attend this season.
So here are 3 tips to guide you through the Christmas party season:
- Make sure you are well hydrated before you go so that you don't drink lots of soft drink because you are thirsty. Once there alternate an alcoholic/soft drink with a glass of water.
- Have a healthy high fibre snack to eat before you go so that you aren't hungry when you arrive, which would make you crave sugary and fatty food.
- Fill your plate with three foods that have a high water and fibre content, such as fresh fruit and vegetables and salads. This means that you won't crave the sweeter foods as much and will be able to enjoy smaller portions of those you do want to enjoy.
let the celebrations begin
