“Move more, eat less… simple. Weight gain is a function of increased calorie consumption versus calorie expenditure. Increase the expenditure with any form of physical activity, especially on days you are likely to eat more - so get out for that long walk on Boxing Day. Focus on lower calorie and healthier alternatives: fill yourself up on greens, replace some of the roast spuds with other baked vegetables and try substituting calorie-dense foods, such as cream, with yogurt. Finally, monitor your alcohol intake - alcoholic beverages are laden in empty calories, disrupt sleep and contribute to inflammation.”
