How to avoid Holiday Weight Gain
'Tis the season to be feeding! It's that time of year when delectable treats, and everything sweet tickles your fancy. With so many parties and plates shoved in your face, how can you possibly manage to avoid the Santa sack? Check out these party favors below to avoid the bulge.1. Aim for seven-a-day
So often we focus on subtracting things out of our diet rather than adding and replacing. Try to eat seven more servings of fruit and vegetables each day. Pledge to eat at least five before you snack on anything sweet. These low calorie treats will ensure that you are less hungry more often.
2. Never go to a party hungry
If it's good for grocery shopping, it's good at this year's Christmas party. If you find that your mouth starts to water just thinking about going to the big bash, slow your roll and grab some raw cabbage. Just kidding, unless you like cabbage. Grab three fruits or veggies of your choice to eat on your way to the holiday party, and curb that appetite before it crashes.
3. Talk More
Conversation is calorie free. Focus on socializing and spend the evening having good conversation. Just make sure all the celery is out of your front teeth…and bring Listerine strips.
4. Only One
If you get tired of people asking you, "to eat something," choose the smallest plate and decorate it with only one treat per hour. Be careful! Small plates can be deceptive. Building food castles on tiny plates is a party foul for your tummy.
