> WEIGHT WATCHERS: Top 10 Christmas Healthy Foods
> Many of us associate Christmas with over eating and fat-laden foods.
> Well you may be surprised to know that a lot of traditional Christmas food
> is actually very good for us, so we can still enjoy ourselves and lose
> weight!
> Weight Watchers Diamon Leader Berit gives her top 10 favorite (and
> healthy!) Christmas foods!
> 1) Turkey – the leanest meat and tastes amazing! A very wise choice
> and a Christmas favorite. Do not fear if there is lots left-over, as
> Turkey sandwiches, is the best Boxing Day snack! As is a homemade Turkey
> Curry - packed with vegetables”
> 2) Bucks Fizz- Champagne is already a low POINTS® favorite, but by
> adding orange juice, you are topping up on Vitamin C, consuming less
> alcohol and having a delicious drink!
> 3) Sprouts – This ‘love it or hate it vegetable’ is filled with iron
> and zero POINTS values
> 4) Cranberry Sauce – Cranberries are often referred to as a
> ‘super-food’. Filled with nutrients and at only ½ POINTS value for a
> tablespoon, it’s a great way to liven up your turkey!
> 5) Nuts - filled with ‘good fats,’ offering variation, also much
> better than another chocolate from the tree. Let’s face it Christmas would
> not be the same without them!
> 6) Satsumas: A stocking tradition, which always brings a nostalgic
> smile, and filled with vitamin c and at two for just ½ POINTS value, you
> can keep smiling!
> 7) Parsnips: a surprising source of Vitamin C and a sweet alternative
> to Roast potatoes.
> 8) Selection Box: these days this chocolate temptation is as much
> part of Christmas as the tree. However, you don’t have to fear! There’s no
> harm in the odd treat, and a selection box with fun size bars, is a wise
> choice. A fun size Cadbury Caramel bar is only 1½ POINTS values!
> 9) Smoked Salmon: Not only delicious, but a great sauce of Omega 3
> oils and low in POINTS values! Perfect accompaniment on some brown or
> wholemeal bread, with a squeeze of lemon and hint of black pepper!
> 10) Nutmeg : A Christmas staple. A brilliant seasoning that can be
> added to so
> many Christmas favorites, which is high in flavor!
> Resolutions Start Early for Weight Watchers Members in Ipswich!
> January is the traditional time for making resolutions but Berit has
> found that many local residents are joining her meeting in Chantry
> Wednesday morning & Friday morning meeting at Northgate before
> Christmas to kick start their 2007 weight loss!
> “When you want to lose weight, you can’t afford to wait, otherwise
> your resolve can falter,” says Berit
> “You really have to strike while the ‘iron is hot’ and from my
> experience of helping my members lose weight in my Weight Watchers
> meetings, members who join before Xmas tend to be more successful than
> some of those who join in the New Year, as they are even more determined
> to lose weight.”
> “Let’s face it, how many of your New Year Resolutions have been
> successful in the past? They can be tough to stick to and that’s usually
> because you often make them on the 1st January when really you aren’t in
> the right mood to do it.” says Berit. After talking to my members who
> joined late 2005 they often mention they were thrilled to have already
> lost weight, felt they coped better with Christmas and that if they had
> waited till the New Year, they would have been even heavier and the weight
> loss challenge then seems so much harder.
> I always recommend to get started when you get the ‘urge’ and if
> that’s 4 weeks before Christmas that’s fine – you could be 7lbs lighter by
> then and your clothes feeling a lot more comfortable!
> The great thing is you don’t have to give up your favourite foods
> with Weight Watchers that’s the reason why so many members have been
> successful on the Switch™ food plan. It’s so flexible and easy to follow
> and it enables you to fit in a few treats so you don’t feel deprived.
> When you join a meeting you’ll be with people who know how you feel I
> joined Weight Watchers 6 years ago to lose over 3 stones. I know how hard
> it is to try and lose weight that why I recommend joining a meeting with
> others to help and encourage you into a healthier lifestyle. We know that
> people who join a Weight Watchers meeting lose 3 times more weight than
> lose who go it alone*. It’s all down to the comradely of the meetings and
> the group support – so that by the start of the New Year 2007 losing
> weight will not be a New Year resolution for you, it will be keeping up
> the progress you’ve already made! After all who wants a figure like Father
> Christmas?
