Drink low-alcohol beer instead of full strength. Dilute wine with plain mineral water Avoid drinking alcohol with too many fatty snacks such as chips and biscuits. Alcohol decreases the ability for out bodies to burn fat and promotes abdominal obesity. Decide how much you will drink at the start of the night and stick to that limit. Don't drink on an empty stomach.
Food slows the rate that alcohol is absorbed by the body.
Food and dining With so many tempting treats around during the holidays such as chocolates and desserts, it is easy so overindulge and many people often feel guilty afterwards. To minimise guilt and allow yourself the occasional treat, you can try incorporating low fat foods into your Christmas dinner. Try using apple sauce or cranberry sauce instead of gravy. Instead of using heavy cream-based sauces, try seasoning foods with herbs and spices and lemon or lime. When at a dinner party don't over eat just because the food is on the table.
