4 Tips to Budge the Post Christmas Bulge

Its nice to wind down and relax at Christmas and end of year celebrations but many people get frustrated and discouraged when they jump up a few kilos. Here are a few tips to help counter Santa's abdominal influence:

1. Remember Weight is a Balancing Act - todays weight in itself is not as important as the trend over time - see the full article here for more. This highlights the importance of tracking over time.

2. Drink More Water - Your body can mistake thirst for hunger. Thirst is best quenched by water alone. All other drinks have calories which will add to your waistline rather than reduce it. 8 standard glasses spaced out over the day is the average recommendation.

3. Gently Reduce Meal Portion Size - Our bodies don't actually require large volumes of fuel (food) to function. In fact the western diet is on average 20% larger than it needs to be for our daily function. A gentle reduction in meal size will result in the same for your waist over time. 

4. Get Active - Its holiday time, get out with friends, kids or just yourself and walk, swim, ski, snowboard or play a game - depending on what hemisphere you are in! It is a great time to join a low cost gym, many gyms have deals at the start of the year to attract members and don't just join - GO!
