Top Tips to Eating during the Christmas Season!
2. At the "do", start with a soft drink. If you dive directly into a glass of wine or a cocktail, you are likely to drink it fast to quench your thirst, stimulating your appetite.
3. Avoid snacks clad in pastry or batter such as spring rolls, vol au vonts and tempura. They can have 80-100 calories each.
4. Retro party food can be a great choice. Tiny slices of pizza, pineapple and cheddar on a stick and a mini cocktail sausage tend to have 40-50 calories each.
5. Sushi is low in fat and is low GI which means it gets digested slowly so it's filling. But most sushi pieces have about 48 calories so although low in fat, you still need to pace yourself.
6. Steer clear of salty snacks like nuts and crisps. These will make you want to drink more and kick off the snack-drink-snack cycle which is hard to break.
7. Spot mustard served with cocktail sausages or the hot green wasabi on a plate of sushi? Have some! Hot sauces slightly raise the number of calories you burn.
8. Drink sparkling water. The bubbles may help give a slight sense of fullness.
9. Eat slowly. It gives your body time to release hormones that tell your brain you are full. Party nibbles are ideal for eating slowly.
10. And finally, find someone interesting and fun to chat with. The more you are absorbed in the conversation, the less likely you are to have your eye on the food.
Enjoy in Moderation over the Christmas period!

Kirsty Tries Again
Kirsty Alley is on a mission to lose weight again. It seems some people need the whole world to keep them accountable.
"I urge everyone to weigh in tonight and BEGIN this. 'Let's get our bodies the way we want em.' Game RIGHT NOW ... make it fun."
Good on her, I hope she really loses it and keeps it off this time - Jenny Craig obviously did not work, and neither did many other diets.
This is one of the topics we deal with in our upcoming book on weight loss (out in Jan 2010). Everyone knows what they should do but they don't do it. What is holding us back mentally and emotionally. It will be a great read, but not only that...by following the written exercises in the book, you will discover so much about the reasons why you might be overweight. NGX24XYGJKJF
