TEN WAYS TO AVOID WEIGHT GAIN DURING HOLIDAYS: #10 is most crucial!
Posted: December 12, 2011 in Uncategorized1. Never Arrive Hungry
Planning ahead can help you maintain discipline in the face of temptation. Don’t go to a party when you’re starving. Try to have a nutritious snack beforehand.This way you can indulge a little, without “pigging out”.
2. Divert Your Attention
Don’t look at the party as just a food event. Enjoy your friends’ company or dancing. Focus on something other than food.
3. Pace Yourself
If you cram in as much as you can in half an hour, you chew faster. Chewing more slowly will fill you up with less food.
4. Count Your tiny apps/ finger foods
When there are bite sized appetizers, it’s easy to lose count of how many you eat. Keep track by stashing a toothpick in your pocket for each one. Set a limit and stick to it.
5. Outsmart the Buffet
When dinner is served buffet-style, use the smallest plate available and don’t stack your food; limit your helpings to a single story. Go for the simplest foods on the buffet, fresh fruit and vegetables and shrimp cocktail are good choices. Watch out for sauces and dips.
6. Limit Alcohol
Avoid drinking too much alcohol at holiday parties. It’s not just about calories but about control. If you drink a lot you won’t have as much control over what you eat. When you do choose a drink, choose lower calorie options, such as vodka, club soda and lime….over heavier options with sweet mixers or creamy drinks….
7. Be Choosy About Sweets
When it comes to dessert, be very selective. Limit your indulgences to small portions and only what is most appealing to you.
8. Bring Your Own Treats
Whether you’re going to a friend’s party or an office potluck, consider bringing a low-calorie treat that you know you’ll enjoy. Bringing your own dessert will make the more fattening alternatives less tempting.
9. Limit ‘Tastes’ While Cooking
If you do a lot of cooking during the holidays, crack down on all those “tastes.” People lose their appetites when they’ve been cooking because they’ve been eating the whole time.
10. Go HARD at GZF BOOT CAMP!!
You can burn around 1000 calories in one hour of a Boot Camp class, as long as you are working at 100% effort. No brainer!
