Moderation is key

The Golden Jubilee Independence celebrations are here.

These celebrations mean lots of fun, fetes and music. Of course there will also be food and drinks and for those of you who are trying to achieve and/or maintain that ‘summer’ body, the abundance of treats may be a recipe for disaster.

Even though it’s recommended that you consume the bulk of your calories in the form of whole foods, it’s normal to crave a slice of pizza every now and then. However, when choosing treats, it would do you well to remember that not all foods are created equal, meaning some are more calorie-dense than others.

There are some foods that you should think long and hard about or just avoid consuming during these celebrations if you don’t want to waste all the hard work you have been putting into to your diet and your workouts.
