5 Tips To Keep You ON The Banting Wagon This Festive Season
You may be wondering how you are going to stick to your Banting diet this festive season, as most yuletide edibles are a flour-laden ‘no-no’ if you respect your digestive system. If nibbling on a carrot stick for sustenance is not your idea of a tummy-filler then this blog is for you.

5 Tips to stay healthy this festive season
Desert Banquet shares five tips to get you through the festive season without falling off the Banting-wagon.
1. Plan your menu
Take time to menu plan for the upcoming season and then stock-up on healthy Desert Banquet snacks which you can keep in the freezer, fridge and pantry. This means you will be prepared, even at short notice.
2. Eat before the event
Fill-up on healthy Desert Banquet snacks or meals before the event. By doing this you will be less likely to succumb to temptation. Also, it will line the tummy if you are going to be having a glass of bubbly.
3. Go easy on the alcohol
Never mind the hangover, alcohol gets you feeling clever, and often not in a wise way. One minute you are in full control of your dietary responsibilities and the next you are busy paying way too much attention to the tasty bite-size, flour-laden sausage rolls on the ‘eat as much as you like’ platter. See tip number five if you need back-up because Desert Banquet has you covered!
4. Reward yourself
If you managed to avoid the Banting-obstacles during the festive season, reward yourself with something you have wanted for a long while, such as a new dress, fishing rod or outing. You can do this because Desert Banquet is on your side!
5. Take a platter of Banting-friendly snacks
If you are invited to an event, offer to take a platter of Banting–friendly snacks with you, that way there will definitely be something you know you can eat. The team at Desert Banquet will put something delicious together for you to take to your next get-together.
