Easy ways to avoid weight gain and keep up your wellness habits in winter

There are a number of reasons why we tend to put on weight during winter. We stay in a lot more and don't invest in as active a lifestyle as we do when it's warm and pleasant outside.

Exercise regularly
It doesn’t matter what form of exercise or movement you choose just make sure you are doing something on a daily basis this winter. The key to improving your fitness and health and maintaining a healthy weight is consistency, so once you start do not break the chain.

Make smart meal choices
You can still enjoy the same meals with a few tweaks that don't compromise with the taste or culinary experience. Remember, healthy food doesn’t have to be boring, and you don’t have to give up your social life to eat well!

Protein with every meal

Protein helps to encourage fat loss and develop lean muscle mass, and provides amino acids which are the building blocks of muscle, plus is essential for liver function, thyroid and mood, and helps to keep your metabolism going! Whey protein is a popular choice of protein and makes for an easy post-workout drink, taking just 30 minutes to reach your muscles after ingestion.
