Even overshooting slightly at each meal can add up to a hefty calorie excess over weeks or months – and it’s easier to skip half a spud than try to claw back a couple of kilos.

3
Choose smarter snacks (they can still be scrummy)
For instance, swap a blueberry muffin for two slices of lightly buttered thin raisin toast. You’ll save around 800 kJ.

Get an accountability partner

Sticking to your plan (when you’re miserable and feel like you deserve the extra half spud, dammit) can be as simple as having a friend or relative who knows what you’re doing. Even if you don’t text or call them when you’re struggling, just knowing you’ll have to report in can keep you honest.

Reward your wins

If you do keep your weight on an even keel over winter – and we know you will – treat yourself to things you love like a massage, manicure or long bath. Just make sure your gift-to-self isn’t choccies!
