Whilst the festive season is a wonderful time for meeting up with friends and family, it is also a time when many of us eat far too much and then yet again have to form a New Year resolution to somehow she all that extra weight that has accumulated.
There are three ways to approach the festive season that has been written by John La Puma, MD and Ruth Buczynski, PhD:
1. Start and end each meal with a walk, outside, no matter the weather. The change I personally would make to that advice is that you do not walk straight after a meal but wait about an hour, as exercising on a full shomach can have adverse consequences.
2. REALLY enjoy your food. (This is something I advise all my clients who come for wfor weight reduction). Food is so much more difficult to enjoy if you have a huge amount og guilt about it - like, "I am eating this and I really shouldn't, " or, "I wonder how many calories this is." If you have decided to sit down and enjoy it, then rerally embrace it - and don't worry so much.
3. Possibly most important of all, use the right size plate. If you have a choice, if you are the host or hostess and you are setting the table for people, try using slightly smaller plates; 15cm or 18cm plates with rims are a good size.
Serve the food on individual plates in a beautiful way; if you are not servin individual plates, then put serving dishes on the table in a beautiful way. It helps people capture the delight of eating and feasting together, and with that delight and beauty, you feed both their eyes and their stomach.
