The Business Athlete Show

Show Notes

In this episode, Adrian breaks down how to actually enjoy Christmas — the meals, the drinks, the socialising — while staying in control of your physique, energy, and routine.

🎯 What You’ll Learn

✔ The simple Christmas rules that prevent weight gain ✔ How to enjoy meals and still feel in control ✔ How to avoid boredom eating and snacking ✔ How to manage alcohol without ruining progress ✔ When to frontload food vs when to hold back ✔ Practical tips for your mornings, dinners & social events

Christmas is 3–5 high-calorie days…But most people turn it into a 14-day binge.

You won’t gain weight from Christmas Day. You’ll gain weight from:

No structure No routine Boredom Mindless snacking All-or-nothing thinking

You can enjoy everything — as long as you stay intentional.
