The majority of women will be donning their ladies sportswear and starting to eat healthily today in preparation for the Christmas party season, according to a survey.

Researchers at British Lion eggs quizzed 3,000 women and found that six in ten selected November 10th as the day to begin slimming for Christmas.

The study also found that over half (58 per cent) were trying to lose weight for their office party.

A spokesman for British Lion eggs said: "The Christmas party has become one of the biggest events of the year, and for many, it's an ideal time to impress a male colleague to be the envy of your female workmates."

He said the best way to lose weight is to eat sensibly and have three balanced meals a day, particularly breakfast and warned that cutting food out won't work.

The NHS advises women to combine regular exercise in ladies fitness wear with a healthy diet in order to lose weight. ADNFCR-2569-ID-19452591-ADNFCR
