Dr Sam and Helen delve into what it might mean to take a break from your weight loss journey. They reveal the advantages of allowing yourself to relax a little, enjoy celebrations and festivities, and take stock of the changes you’ve been making.

Whether for a special weekend, a family occasion or even a holiday, they advise on how you can plan for a break and approach it mindfully, get the most out of it, and – most importantly – feel secure in getting back on track and returning to your new lifestyle habits at the end of it. Dr Sam is Lead GP for Lifestyle Medicine at Boots Online Doctor, as well as a coach and mentor, author, and nutritional and yoga therapist.
