SANTA'S FAT YOU DONT HAVE TO BE

Santa’s fat you don’t have to be

I was at the market place the other day and noticed the shops have already got Christmas stuff out, and then it’s not really that far away till Christmas.

So I thought this week I might write about avoiding the bulge over Christmas.

Controlling your weight for Christmas starts now, I am not going to write about controlling you’re eating and drinking over the Christmas period that is, the week of Christmas because most people wont.

How ever you noticed I said the week of Christmas, the week of Christmas is for sensible indulgence you need to have a plan in place of what you are going to do leading up to this week.

So pick up a pen and start your strategy it should include the following 5 points.

1.    limit alcohol now- mid week drinking is a good way to make sure you keep the bulge, limit drinking to the weekend  and don’t make up for lost time through the week.

2.    Eat well- this is a no brainier get rid of processed food and eat fresh. fresh meat, fresh vegtables.limit carbs increase the amount of veg on your plate

3.    Plan- if you have lunch at work bring a fresh lunch and avoid the hot chips. Bring a few healthy snacks with you so you don’t have those sweet bickies at morning tea

4.    exercise- it’s a great time of year in wagga ,get out and go for a walk each day, better yet come to Flex it and see me for a pre Christmas fitness plan .

5.    Don’t fill the fridge- don’t start letting Christmas treats in to the house until the last possible moment or guess what? You will eat them.

6.    Start now- now is the time to start your strategy for Christmas don’t put it off act now so you can keep it off.

Its interesting that one in four adults in the UK are trying to lose weight "most of the time".

But why is this the case? I mean, if 'dieting' worked then you would simply go on a diet, lose your unwanted weight and never need to go on a diet again. End of diet industry, end of obesity epidemic, end of a whole range of weight related diseases!

Unfortunately, anyone who has ever been on a diet will know that it just isn't that simple. The biggest reason, and one which most people are not aware of, is that low-calorie restricted diets are set up in a way that will generally make you fail.

Low calorie will lead to a slow metabolism so that when you do eat again after dieting it wacks weight back on again quicker then ever.

When you can’t eat the foods you like. You want them more  this leads to closet eating.

This is the reason Ultra lite our weight loss program works so well, Julie was telling me yesterday after losing 7 kg how it was the best program she had ever come across and how great she felt she’s still got 2 weeks to go before maintenance. Feeling great while dieting there’s one for the books.

We have put over 90 people through Ultra lite and the thing I like most about it apart from the weight loss is how good these people feel

·       Energised

·       Glowing

·       Happy

·       New lease on life.

These are the terms friends have used to describe them, it’s fantastic.

Ultra lite is not low calorie ,and you get to eat nice things a couple of reasons why it works.

If you would like help with an eating plan leading up to Christmas, or information on ultra lite don’t hesitate to contact me.

Cheers
