This is for those of us whose self discipline just crumbles when confronted with all tasty treats on offer during the festive season & how to “Banting Proof” yourself from falling off the healthy Banting wagon.
Whilst a great deal of all that tempting food is probably non-Banting & non-Paleo approved, some of it will be fine for us Banters & Paleo eaters.
However, the trick is to know exactly what is Banting or Paleo friendly before we tuck into that Christmas dinner & pudding.
So to give you an idea of what to choose when you’re presented with so many delicious delights during this time, the food lists & tips below will help you decide exactly what you can eat to keep your waistline in check.
5 Tips To Keep You On the Banting & Paleo Wagons
- The first thing to look out for & avoid like the plague is any food or treat that is rich in sugar as well as those simple carbs.
- Any processed food is also a big no-no.
- Eat your usual breakfast which hopefully contains an egg or two to keep you feeling full for longer – this will help you avoid any sweet treats going around before dinner time.
- Go easy on the alcohol and only have some dry white or red wine if you have to – remember alcohol lowers your inhibitions & resolve which could lower your defences against eating all the bad stuff.
- Fill up on the gammon & turkey (hopefully free-range) as well as all the veggies (organic) on offer.
For a more detailed list of what food is allowed & what not, just choose from the following links;

If you feel your resolve weakening against eating the bad stuff, just remember that you want to like who you see when you look in the mirror & regain that youthful vigor & slim body.
Finally, there’s no short cut to looking & feeling good, eating real, nutrient dense foods all the time is what it takes & taking a break to indulge in all the Christmas treats will set you back more than you think.
