Are you determined not to end up with a food baby on Christmas Day this year?  It's easy to overeat because there is usually enough food to feed a small country on Christmas Day.  According to the experts the best way to avoid this is to:
1. Eat a healthy breakfast so that you don't rock up to Christmas lunch starving and binge.
2. Eat protein first as this fills you up more than other food - try turkey, seafood, ham (without the skin is   best).
3. Drink plenty of water - we often confuse hunger with thirst.
4. Snack on veggie sticks and fruit instead of chips and chocolates
5. Indulge - don't deprive yourself of pudding and chocolate, just enjoy it in moderation.
6. Avoid juice and soft drinks as they are full of sugar.
7. Get moving - go for a walk or a swim or join in the family cricket match.

Check out this disturbing infographic from www.iquitsugar.com. I'm not advocating we quit sugar all together, but it's hard to cut back if we don't know where it's hiding.
