ENJOY CHRISTMAS CAKE - IT'S THE LOWEST IN FAT...

A slice of Christmas cake is the lowest in fat, which keeps the calories down. A small slice will only give you 185 calories and 4.3g fat. And as it is packed with dried fruit and nuts, Christmas cake also contains more fibre than most of the other treats – around 1.3g a slice (an apple provides 3.3g and the recommended daily amount is 24g) Mince pies are 255 calories each due to the fat in the pastry .

The lowest in calories is the chocolate yule log which is because the lightness of the sponge cake means the typical slice of 35g is only 155 calories.

A FIZZY DRINK THAT CAN BURN OVER 200 CALORIES IN 3 HOURS !

Cranberry flavoured 'Aspire' is said to burn off 209 calories within 3 hours of drinking it, according to scientists at Leeds Met University.

Apparently they found that when green tea was combined with caffeine, amino acid and ginger, there was a 'thermogenic effect'. This means the body generates more heat to digest food and temporarily stimulates the metabolism.

The drink is available from Holland & Barrett and is £1.59 and 12.5 calories a tin, but it is not advisable for those sensitive to caffeine to drink it.

Although more tests need to be carried out on this to confirm their findings, I think its well worth a shot over Christmas when we are all eating those extra calories.
