👉 Are you dreading the holidays? 🤷‍♀️ Is it a time of year that you struggle with? 
 
😫 Body Smart podcast co-host Gemma admitted that this time of year is really hard for her. 🍪 With the shops full of 'must-have' festive foods and too much temptation, it can be difficult for anyone in a fat loss phase to remain hyper-focused on their goals. 
 
🎄 So what can you do? 
 
🎙 Jaymie and Gemma are joined by head coach, Terry Anderson as they chat about different challenges that the holiday season brings and how to successfully stick to your diet through December when you're in a fat loss phase. 
 
They talk about: 
 
🥘 why the "Eat what you want" message at Christmas can sometimes set people back by three months with their goals 
 
🦃 how many calories in a Christmas dinner 
 
🥂 how much alcohol we consume over the holidays 
 
🍻 the concept of 'Mad Friday' in Britain 
 
🛒 how to handle supermarket shopping at this time of year 
 
🍽 how to curate your table and kitchen so you eat less over the holidays 
 
🍗 why leaving food scraps in view can be helpful for eating less 
 
🥵 and why the media's obsession with "This is how many burpees you need to do to burn off your Christmas dinner" is unethical and psychologically damaging clickbait that is doing exercise a disservice
