and weight gain go hand in hand, but there is no need to put on the standard five kilograms this festive season, according to one leading fitness coach.

'While exercise and healthy eating obviously became less of a priority while we spend more time celebrating with friends and family, it's important to remember that you're only celebrating for a short period of time, not the entire month,' Rachael told FEMAIL. 
'It's not about how you eat at the parties, but how you eat the rest of the time.'
One bad meal or bad day won't ruin your progress, but an entire week will  Rachael said the easiest way to keep on track at this time of year is to relax and enjoy yourself a little bit when you're out partying, but then try and eat healthily 'when you can' for the remaining days.
'There is no need to have an all or nothing mentality,' she explained.
'If you're eating healthily and then have a mid-week work function where you overeat, there's no need to think "I've ruined it now so I'll just eat whatever I want for the rest of this week and start again on Monday".'
Rachael added: 'One bad meal or bad day won't ruin your progress, but an entire week will.'
