Well here we are folks, the next millennium has begun, and there is nothing like an out with the old and in with the new to start it off with a great big… disappointment. Resolutions, like rules, are simply made to be broken. Luckily, being healthy and happy in the 21st century is not about spurious changes to your world, but slow and painless lifestyle adaptations.

There is no chance that you will lose the Christmas belly by next week, whether you eat carbohydrates or not- and it definitely won't be replaced with washboard resembling muscles the week after. But that is not to say we should all simply buy a larger wardrobe in the Christmas sales and resign ourselves to a life of chocolates, Pringles and flab.

To save you from this uncertain fate and rid ourselves of the seven pounds the average Brit puts on over the holidays we at Portowebbo have put together a guide that will help you on your way to a happier, healther (and much sexier) you.
Lets start off with the obvious - The Gym. A necessary evil, but one that can be minimized through a little fun and luxury.

Next is the area of nutrition - not diet. Eating well is just that- a little more care than usual, but satisfying and easy when you eat.

Lastly is the reward for your good behaviour, and the reason you should really want to make these lifestyle changes permanent. Whether you are detoxing, muscle building, or simply toning and taking care of yourself - regular massage (and other forms of Complimentary therapies) are an integral part of your new lifestyle.

Now check in with us next month and lets be honest- is it really that bad?
