HEALTHY CHRISTMAS SURVIVAL GUIDE -PART 2

Christmas is a magical time to celebrate with family and friends and with Festive season in full flow, I really want you to enjoy it to the max BUT without feeling like a stuffed turkey by the end of it. So I’ve designed  a healthy Christmas survival guide , packed with easy, practical tips to help you to enjoy Christmas  and come out the other side feeling fabulous.For those of you who missed PART 1 of My Healthy Christmas survival guide, in last weeks newsletter , just click HERE

So grab yourself a herbal tea, get comfy and remember “incite without action is worthless” so take away these helpful  tips and act on them at your next soiree…..

1.Arrive late ( I find this the easiest one to implement !!)and leave early before it gets too boozy ,to cut down on drinking time plus  try to avoid topping drinks up, as it’s  very easy to lose count of how many you’ve had!

2.Drink a large glass off Chlorophyll water before you go out and take a small travel size bottle of chlorophyll in your handbag to add to water through out the  evening – it’s amazing for flushing out the unwanted excess  toxins  that make you  feel rubbish and lead to excess fat storage.

3.Look After Your Liver: The liver is one of the most important organs in your body. It helps to get rid of toxins and where do excess toxins get stored? In fat. During Christmas, your liver gets bombarded with toxins from alcohol, sugar, additives and other nasties. A really simple way to give it some extra TLC if it’s been a bit ‘overloaded’ is with this  Liver Health 

4.Choose lighter options  e.g. a white wine spritzer i.e. half wine, half spring water , add Kombucha to gin instead of tonic or opt for a non-alcoholic cocktail  using Zambrosa, which is packed with antioxidants and nutrients

5.Make Smart Food Choices: Choose fish, meats, salads, fresh fruit, and vegetables. Avoid the processed carbs such as bread, pasta, and pizza. They will make you feel sluggish and bloated and lead to additional fat storage

6.Research The Buffet Table: Walk around the buffet table to see what’s on offer before you choose and commit. By doing this you’ll avoid piling excessive amounts of food onto your plate and/or making poor food choices.

7.Sit Away From The Food: It’s not a good idea to be within arms reach of the buffet. You’re more likely to snack. Instead, go to the opposite end of the room. That way you’ll have to consciously make a trip back for more.

8.Be Restaurant Savvy: Do some prior research. Look at the menu online and pick out the foods that will keep you on track. Also don’t be afraid to ask for what YOU want. After all, it’s your meal. Swap chips for sweet potatoes. Ask for a side salad or steamed vegetables, and avoid the bread basket- just say no so it’s not on the table.

9.Make A Plate Up, Don’t Pick:I know you’re probably keen to sample everything, and there’s nothing wrong with that but if you choose food straight from the serving dish to your mouth with no plate it’s a lot harder to keep track of your intake. Agreed? so plate up, sit down and enjoy.

Using the tips above will give you a great head start. Now I’d love to hear from you. Have these tips helped? Anything you’d like to add? And which ones are you going to try?
