Diet Doctor: Easter

  • Easter can be a bit of challenging time diet-wise (everyone loves a Lindt bunny…), but things can easily get out of hand.
  • For me the last two weeks seem to have been a booze-fuelled frenzy of weddings and bad food: Chocolate for breakfast? Why not! Fried rice for lunch? Delicious! Five slices of cake? It would be rude not to!
  • The key thing is not to panic or beat yourself up too much — you’re allowed a treat everyone now and then.
  • Use the start of May to get back on to the regime, set yourself some goals and get stuck in.
  • Mine are:
  • Eat more vegetables
  • Eat less cheese
  • Drink more water
  • Eat out less
  • Stop buying cucumbers and then throwing them away (I need to accept that I just don’t like them)
  • Drink less coffee
  • Drink less alcohol
  • Avoid dodgy tan lines
