We all know that this time of year gets a little crazy. Every which way you look you are being invited to Christmas functions where the challenge of ‘just a couple of drinks’ is put upon you. This is a critical time for everyone where it is so easy to undo the good work you have put in this year and have it blow out all too easily in the space of six weeks. I spoke about this in great depth at our nutrition seminar but here is a little snippet of information in case you missed it. Below we take a look at abundance of calories in drinks alone. Becareful however of the calorie laden foods which go hand in hand with some of these drinks (cheese, nuts, chips, deep fried goodies, pastries and kebabs to name a few. Hopefully you will think twice before you have just that ‘one more’. If you consider that a single extra night of drinking each week can result in another kilogram of body weight by the end of December, it is easy to see how weight gain is a common side effect of frequent partying.
