Reviewed by: Lisa Donaldson, APD, M.Nutr&Diet, B.Edu

Christmas is a great time of year – not least because of all the amazing foods on offer!

Rather than limit yourself, or go all out, you can still enjoy yourself by just making smart choices and keeping your portions under control.  Remember, you’ve worked too damn hard to throw away all your hard work.
