Drop a Dress size by Christmas and New Year


Christmas is just around the corner and with it comes a whole load of parties and nights out – complete with the panic of what to wear!
And if the thought of slipping into that slinky party frock you’ve got your eye on is enough to make you rip up any invites, fear not.

There’s still time to drop a dress size before the festivities get under way, so you can look like your favourite star and feel amazing in your dress.
We know you’ll need plenty of energy and stress-busting meals in the run up to Christmas.

Honestly! Would You Really Like To Drop A Dress Size? Imagine for one moment just how that would make you feel? 
  • More confident
  • Happier
  • Feel better
  • Look better
  • Oh and don’t forget healthier 

More than likely you would feel all of those emotions but as with everything, you have to actually get started to feel them and  making the decision to get started can be the hardest bit.  Putting it off for as long as you can … does that sound familiar?  However the dreadful truth is that if you don’t start you’ll never achieve what you desire.  There is a great quote from Jim Rohn “For Things To Change YOU Have To Change!” and isn’t he spot on with that?

According to the new Atkins research, which surveyed 1,007 women across the UK, 6 out of 10 females own a Little Black Dress and 1/3 insist it is their favourite item of clothing.

Linda O'Byrne, Atkins chief nutritionist, added: “Our research shows that the Little Black Dress is as much a part of the party season as mistletoe and wine. We urge women to take a sensible approach to dieting in the run-up to Christmas because it will enable them not only to look great on their big night out but to feel great too. Slimmers must focus on eating and drinking healthily by cutting down on sugar and refined carb intake and getting some exercise. This, along with some patience, is the key to weight loss."

Cutting calories too low will increase cravings, as will eating a “low fat” as good fats are needed for satiety. Look to lean protein, vegetables, good fats and low sugar snacks; something that can be sustained and become part of a lifestyle and routine.” 
Therefore, when you decide that you want to look great on the Christmas and New Year night, think what you eat every day, how healthy is that food and if you are getting the necessary number of calories per day!
