Of course, there are also a few downsides: going to the mall can become a genuinely dangerous endeavour, as can dinner with your mother-in-law. Worst of all, however, is that your waistline is unlikely to be quite the same when the time comes to go back to work. All that Christmas turkey and morning champagne has to go somewhere, and that somewhere is quite likely to be your hips.
But fear not. Health24 always has your back, and this time we’ve come up with a very useful guide to enjoying the festive season without turning into a blimp and undoing all of your hard work to get bikini-ready for summer.
So, here’s how to beat the festive weight gain.
Good luck!
