With so many sweet treats, party pastries and those extra glasses of bubbly, the silly season is certainly the key time of the year that challenges your healthy eating goals. The key to keeping in shape over summer is to tweak your daily eating and exercise habits to allow for the extras – not miss out altogether!
You might like to move more and burn off extra kilojoules by adding another workout session to your week, going a little harder on the treadmill or pushing a few more laps into your swim. You can also go for smaller portion meals on the day of a big night out and go for lower kilojoule snacks like sensational summer melons and berries. Just remember, one big serve of pudding, cream and brandy butter on Christmas day is unlikely to matter. But you need to watch how regularly the added extras slip in during the weeks that lead up to Christmas. If you also keep in mind the kilojoule counts of some common snacks and treats, you really can have your Christmas cake and eat it too!
