Enjoy the celebrations, feel confident in your summer clothes, and head into Christmas lighter, with your habits under control.

My fat loss plan, Mondays Matter Christmas, gives you a clear eating plan, two structured high-protein days each week, and the support to keep making progress when life gets busy.

There’s room for your favourite festive foods, meals out and a glass of wine. You’ll know how to fit them in and what to do at the next meal, without writing off the week.

No calorie tracking. No waiting until January.

Does this sound familiar?

Your calendar is filling up, your usual routine is slipping, and you’re already thinking, “I’ll sort myself out in January.”

You want to feel comfortable in your summer clothes. But you don’t want another diet that means declining invitations, cooking complicated meals or feeling guilty about dessert.

And you know how easily one busy weekend can become several weeks of putting yourself last.

Mondays Matter gives you a practical plan for exactly this time of year.

Yes, festive food can fit

 You don’t need six perfect weeks to make progress.

You need a repeatable routine, room for the occasions that matter, and a way to get back to your usual meals afterwards.

We plan for social meals so you can enjoy them without deciding you’ve “blown it” and writing off the rest of the week.

Christmas lunch isn’t the problem.

Letting “I’ll start in January” turn a few festive meals into 6 weeks of overeating is.

A clear plan. Less daily guesswork.

 Two structured days each week
Two lower-calorie, high-protein days, known as protein-sparing modified fasts (PSMF), help create your weekly calorie deficit. You’ll have clear guidance on what to eat.

Simple meals for the other days
Protein-focused meal plans, vegetarian options and shopping lists help you stay consistent without tracking every mouthful.

Flexibility for your festive calendar
Learn how to include social meals and favourite foods while keeping your overall week aligned with your goals.

Strength training that fits
A six-week programme from Darren Ellis helps you build strength and support muscle retention as you lose weight.

Support when life gets busy
Group Zoom calls, recordings and a private Facebook community give you somewhere to ask questions, troubleshoot and keep going.

Everything you need for six weeks

• Meal plans, including vegetarian options

• Shopping lists and practical preparation tips

• Six-week strength training programme

• Workbook and progress journal

• Fortnightly group Zoom calls, with recordings

• Private Facebook group with nutrition coaching

 Your Christmas plans don’t need to go on hold

 Can I still eat out and enjoy festive food?
Yes. Planned flexibility is part of the programme. You’ll learn how to make room for those occasions while keeping your everyday habits consistent.

What if I can’t follow everything perfectly?
You don’t need to. We focus on what you can repeat, and how to return to your routine after a meal or day that goes differently.

Will I spend hours preparing food?
Some preparation helps, but the meal plans, shopping lists and cook-once, eat-twice ideas are designed to make it manageable.

What if I’m going away for the weekend?
Go and enjoy it. Plan your structured days around your trip, use the programme’s guidance when eating out, and return to your usual meals when you’re home. Two days away doesn’t need to derail six weeks of progress.

 Start now. Give yourself six weeks of support.

You can spend the lead-up to Christmas putting this off, or start building habits that help you feel more confident around food and more comfortable in your clothes.

Enjoy your celebrations with a plan you can return to.
