Do you get up later while on holiday over the Christmas season and think “it’s too late for breakfast now, I’ll wait until lunch”? Does that leave you snacking before lunch or does it lead to a bigger lunch than usual?

Top Tip – Eat Regular Meals at your regular times and stick with Small Portions

Hunger Tip – Protein is great at satisfying appetite – if you are feeling hungry or have had alcohol the night before include eggs, bacon/turkey, smoked salmon, kippers, nuts & seed topping in your breakfast choice
