Keeping The Extra Pounds At Bay During Party Season


           Try to even out your calories, if you know you will be going to someone’s house for drinks and nibbles have some fresh fruit at your meal time instead of dinner. Or if you need to make sure your stomach is lined have a complex carbohydrate free meal so omit bread, pasta, rice, potatoes and cereals.

-          Portions are still the key – always use a side plate for your meals regardless. If you are at someone’s house just ask for a smaller portion.

-          When everyone is tucking into the box of Roses or Easter egg, have some Natural Confectionery jellies at hand or even a Frys Turkish delight – a lot less fat calories but still tasty.

-          Easter dinner doesn’t have to be so bloating. Choose fewer potatoes on your plate for example. Once again try to keep the other meals light to balance the extra fat and calories at Easter dinner.

-         Make white wine spritzers with soda water instead of a full glass of wine.

-          Don’t sit and slouch on the sofa after dinner; take a brisk 20 minute walk – you will feel much more refreshed if you do!


-          Don’t forget to drink plenty of water with lemon and if you are feeling bloated have apple cider vinegar in water twice a day until you feel better.
