Why Christmas Sucks If You Want To Lose Weight

You don’t need to be a genius to realise that Christmas is a really bad time of the year if you’re on a diet. That probably explains why so many people decide to go on diets in the New Year …

So what to do?

Christmas is a wonderful time of the year to see friends and family, but what on earth do you do about the food?

Christmas dinner itself is usually a calorie-laden feast – if not then there’s probably something wrong!

And in the weeks leading up to Christmas there are so many temptations put in your way… Think of mince pies, cakes, panettone, pan d’oro and of course office parties.

I don’t think there is an easy solution. The only thing I can try to do is eat in moderation and try to avoid as much of the junk as possible – even if it pains me!
