How to Avoid Holiday Weight Gain - 4 Tips
The holiday season is upon us, which means temptations are lurking around every corner in the form of extra and unwanted calories
That being said, it is possible to enjoy the holidays while staying (and eating!) healthy.
Here are 4 tips to follow to keep those extra pounds off this holiday season:
Eat Before You Eat Being hungry before a holiday party or meal is never a good idea because it will cause you to over eat. Try eating a healthy snack ahead of time like veggies or fruit to keep from loading up on extra calories.
Take the Focus Off Food Holiday gatherings and events may be centered around food, but it's not the only thing. It's also about family and friends and enjoying each other's company. Remember to take the conversation away from the snack or buffet table so you don't mindlessly eat while chatting.
Be Mindful of Emotional Overeating The holidays can be stressful for everyone, but comforting yourself with holiday treats or worse, alcohol, isn't the solution. Instead, take a look at the issue and find a healthy way to resolve it.
Stick to the Meal Plans Each year we have a special holiday meal plans. Whether you're celebrating or not, they're perfect for anyone looking to stay healthy during the holidays!
