HOW TO EAT CHRISTMAS HAM AND NOT BECOME A PORKER!

WHICH GROUP OF PEOPLE ARE YOU PART OF?

Do you treat December and its parties and delicious foods as an excuse to put on a few extra holiday kilos? Or do you go to the parties, see the delicious food and tell yourself that it isn’t worth it? You know, a moment on the lips, forever on the hips?

IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY!

You don’t have to deny yourself of life’s pleasures or feel chubby and hide down the beach! There is a way to eat the food, enjoy a few drinks and not put on those few extra holiday kilos… and it’s easier than you think!
Here are three great ways to prevent the Christmas ham from ending up in your thighs. But BEWARE, you may experience side effects like having more energy and looking better.

STEP #1 Do Some Planning.

On the days you know you have a party or feast coming, plan some meals that will keep you feeling good throughout the day without putting you over your energy intake for the day. Remember to plan so you aren’t starving by the time the food arrives, we all know when that happens we tend to gorge.

STEP #2 Kick Start Your Day.

Start each day with 5 – 10mins of huffy puffy exercise. It’s a great way to start the day that will have you feeling more energised all day. The biggest benefit is that your metabolism will be up and running early which means you will burn far more kilojoules during the day, you will be an all day fat burning machine. Your 5-10 mins can be walking, jogging, dancing, shadow boxing, riding or anything that gets you huffing and puffing.

STEP #3 Get Stronger.

One time per week, for no more than 30 mins do some strength  training. If you think you have high blood pressure or could be pregnant check with your doctor first. The best part about strength training is for such a small investment of time you can increase your metabolism greatly for the whole week and you will be a major fat burning machine day and night, even while you sleep, how good is that!
So plan your eating for the day, kick start your day with huffy puffy exercise and get stronger each week and you can enjoy all the ham, beer and your favourite foods this Christmas.
