Christmas party organisers have been advised to buy low-fat food products for their guests to cater for those individuals who are trying to diet over the festive season.
By creating home-made dips with natural yoghurts and fruits, party hosts can also help dieters maintain their routines, reports the Croydon Guardian.
Those preparing for Christmas are also advised not to buy too much too soon, as they will end up eating leftovers into the new year and many products will go to waste.
Individuals heading out to parties instead of holding them are also offered tips on eating by the newspaper; eating before leaving the house and not drinking too much are advised.
By ensuring hunger is satisfied before leaving the house, partygoers will not pick at food all night and put on weight.
Likewise, drinking also increases hunger, the newspaper states, so partygoers should watch how much alcohol they consume.
For more Christmas eating tips, Nigella Lawson will be presenting a food show on BBC2 at the end of this year.
