This Easter weekend the average British child will consume 5 chocolate eggs plus the chocolate bars included with them. In total some children will consume in excess of 10,000 calories over the Easter period. The research all tends to point towards children but I am sure there are plenty of adults that will indulging in more than their fair share of the eggs.

Bad News
10,000 calories is equivalent to 3 pounds of fat.

Good News
Approximately 25% of these calories will be burned through eating and digestion.

My Advice
A top tip for any holiday period is to BALANCE the calorific intake with calorific expenditure. This can be achieved by:

• taking the dog for a long walk
• ensure that you go for a run
• as it is spring time you can deep spring clean the house/garage and garden
• leave the car at home and walk to your relatives

It is also important that you balance your diet to prevent a toxic build up of the digestive system. Make sure that you eat plenty of fresh foods, and drink plenty of water.
