Don't you love how every Christmas the mainstream media write articles about overindulgence and how to lose weight after the break? Isn't it absolutely awesome that they tell you before Christmas to gorge on sweet food and the standard meals then the very next day they tell you how to lose weight?
I'm curious to know why they don't just tell people to resist the urge to overindulge full stop. Sure, Christmas is a time for celebration and with that often comes food. But why can't people be sensible about it?
As we see all year round, people struggle to keep the weight off as it is, so around comes Christmas and on go a couple of kilos. This isn't the case for everyone, but for some people they overindulge and eat too much.
Fitness and health doesn't stop just because it's Christmas time. Nobody is saying you have to go to the gym on Christmas Day, and let's face it, some are closed so you have a valid excuse. The ideal situation however is that people will not overindulge and that they won't let their fitness regime take a backseat just because it's Christmas.
You have to go to the gym all year round to keep weight off. What makes people think that around Christmas time it would be any different? Why think that around Christmas time the calories won't count? The calories count all year round as does the exercise.
Sure, celebrate, but have smaller portions and don't forget to exercise. It's simple, just don't overeat.
