- If there is fruit and fresh vege on offer make sure that you fill up on the good stuff, and just indulge a little in the delicious fatty foods and sweets;
- Give yourself at least 20 minutes before going back for seconds - this is how long it takes for your stomach to register that you are full;
- Do the Christmas push up - PUSH YOURSELF AWAY FROM THE TABLE WHEN YOU ARE FULL.
- Cold, cold watermelon
- Fresh lemons or limes to serve with ice cold water (and give your poor liver a little detox)
- Dried figs, fruits and dates and fresh cold grapes to add to your cheese plates
- Goats cheese - it is the healthy alternative to Bries and Camemberts
- Unsalted fresh nuts as healthy protien nibbles
- Fruit fruit fruit fruit fruit - looks colourful and fresh served on big platters and is so EASY to prepare. Eat before and after meals to flush away fat!
- Lettuce Lettuce Lettuce - all sorts of lettuce and spinach - it is the basis of any quick, delicious salad to both entertain and nourish.
