I’m dreaming of a light Christmas…

christmas dinner
Ditch the sausage meat and turkey skin to save a few calories!

I’ve been going on about it all year – Christmas is the time of calorific overload. It’s all too easy to get sucked into the delights of the Christmas feast … but did you know just a few simple swaps could help you save at least 500 calories on Christmas Day? Here are my top tips for a lighter Christmas to make the big day a little more healthy.

SWAP Turkey with skin on, basted in butter

FOR skinless turkey basted with vegetable stock

SWAP sausage/forced meat stuffing

FOR chestnut or mixed nut stuffing with cranberries & orange

SWAP bread sauce made with cream

FOR bread sauce made with semi-skimmed milk

SWAP double cream

FOR plain yogurt or low fat custard

Do all these swaps and you’ll make a saving of around 500+ calories – and I bet you won’t even notice the difference. Happy days !!!

And don’t forget The Christmas Day Fizzical

As usual our Christmas morning exercise class takes place in Kirtlington. We’ll be meeting at the village hall – time to be confirmed. This little pulse raiser will increase your metabolism and release those endorphins to help your body cope with the Christmas calorie overload. And don’t forget we always follow this special session with a glass of something sparkling supplied by Prime Energy. Merry Christmas!
