Weight loss tip: why we should shun Christmas sweet treats in November...

Top weight loss tip of the day...

 Say no to seasonal sweet treats in November.

 Although we're all susceptible to splashing the cash on super sized tubs of seasonal sweet treats in November (we're talking Christmas classics such as Quality Street!), this avoidable action often results in the average adult chomping their chocolates before Christmas prior to purchasing another tub (or two!) in time for their festive feast - a toxic combination that can contribute to the 6lbs* of additional weight that the average Brit accumulates over the festive season.

Aside from aiding weight loss (fibre is a satiety stimulating nutrient that promotes a feeling of fullness), increasing our intake of fibre-rich food sources such as whole fruit, vegetables and wholegrains can improve our digestive health by ensuring that our bowel movements remain regular - an action that reduces the risk of suffering from the unsightly symptoms that stem from constipation. 2.Munching a morning meal - a reduced risk of overeating and additional weight gain.
