I post this every year but…you don’t need a “Christmas nutrition survival guide”, unless you’re heading into war or starving.
With the amount of conflicting and extreme advice on here these days when it comes to occasions like this, it needs to be said.
If you do want advice on “managing” your nutrition over the next 2-3 weeks, here’s my take:
- Approach it how you want to, in accordance with what you want out of it.
If that’s keeping everything the same as your “normal”nutrition throughout, that’s fine, once you’re comfortable and happy with that.
If it’s keeping mostly “normal”, allowing a few days with a bit more indulgence and then continuing as normal, that’s also fine, once you’re comfortable and happy with that.
And if it’s 3 weeks of eating cheesecake for breakfast, then that’s fine, once you’re comortable and happy with that.
👆You’ll notice a pattern there.
👉Accepting the outcomes of your choices and being ok with those choices.
👉Keeping out feelings of nutrition guilt or the need to detox, purge or earn your food / drink.
👉Respecting yourself and how you want to feel, whether that’s just in the moment, or in the future.
Will all go a long way in helping you manage Christmas nutrition with less stress.
For many with it being a time of being around more people, it can be a time of a lot of food and drink pressure. Whether that’s in the form of pressure to consume more, consume less, or consume things you don’t like or want.
Making and owning your own choices, based on what you truly want, can make all the difference here.
Enjoy!
