One questions I get ALL the time at this time of year is…
What can I do to stop piling on the pounds in December?
So here are 5 ways to avoid the winter weight gain over the festive period:
1 – Eat more veggies
The water and fibre in fruits and vegetables will add volume to your dishes, so you can eat the same amount of food with fewer calories.
Most fruits and vegetables are naturally low in fat and calories and are filling.
2 – Keep drinking plenty of water
Drinking enough water each day is crucial for many reasons: to regulate body temperature, keep joints lubricated, prevent infections, deliver nutrients to cells, and keep organs functioning properly.
Being well-hydrated also improves sleep quality, cognition, and mood.
3 – Make sure you get enough sleep
Sleep is an essential and involuntary process, without which we cannot function effectively. It is as essential to our bodies as eating, drinking and breathing, and is vital for maintaining good mental and physical health.
Sleeping helps to repair and restore our brains, not just our bodies.
4 – Keep moving – going on walks daily (10k steps!).
Making a goal of 10,000 steps a day boosts your heart health, helps you focus better, provides more energy, and strengthens your lungs, bones, and muscles.
5 – Remember that one day off track doesn't mess up the whole of Christmas.
Get back on track with 1-4 every single day to avoid the winter weight gain.

At Plan B Fitness, we love to celebrate small wins.
In fact we do it every week with our Bright Spot Friday client wins!
One small win (which is actually a MASSIVE win) that we celebrate every year is getting through December without the winter weight gain (or inches!).
We are not concerned about our clients losing weight or inches in December – just not going backwards.
Why?
Because it doesn't matter what you do between Christmas Day and New Year, it's what you do between New Year and Christmas day that counts.
(Read that sentence above again!)
