In the winter big jumpers hide the fat well, but come the spring the jummpers must go. Don't be shocked when they do. Take action now!

Eat to satisfy - For some reason we feel it is easier to eat healthy in the summer when the weather is warm. This winter make the right choices and eat foods that will leave you feeling satisfied. Studies show that foods that leave us feeling fuller longer are high in protein and fibre, these include foods such as: beans, eggs, porridge, and beefsteaks. Foods that are high in refined carbohydrates, sugar and fat are less satisfying and therefore often lead to overeating. Avoid options such as crisps, white bread and sweets.

Eat in season foods - This is a great time of year for British food. In season foods have a higher nutritional value and taste nicer. In season now are: mushrooms, kale, butternut squash, beetroot, courgettes, and turnips just to name a few.

Drink water - This is a tough one for most, as we often do not feel like drinking water when the weather is cold, rather we reach for coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. Avoid these, as drinks that contain caffeine can leave you craving sugary foods. For a nice warm drink try boiling water and adding fresh mint, lemon and a slice of ginger root.

Avoid alcohol - Socialising in the winter often means spending more time in the pub. Avoid alcohol as often as possible if not altogether. Alcohol contains 7 calories per gram. That''s a lot when carbohydrates contain 4 calories and fat contains 9 calories per gram. Drink a pint of lager and that's 200 calories, a small glass of red wine is 85 calories; you get the picture.

Get outside - Exercising outdoors is invigorating. Just ensure you wear bright coloured clothing to keep safe. There's so much you can do: go for a brisk walk in the park, ride your bike, play tennis, kick the football around the list is endless.

Don't put it off. Don't think that you'll start in the New Year. The New Year is still a couple of months away. Those extra five or ten pounds sneak up quicker than you think.

Look forward to taking off the big jumpers in the spring and showing off how great you look!
