HERE ARE 9 SIMPLE WAYS TO AVOID
THOSE DREADED HOLIDAYS POUNDS...
1. DRINK AS MUCH WATER AS POSSIBLE
Sipping on plenty of water throughout the day, especially before a big meal, will help you feel fuller for longer and decrease unhealthy cravings. Even better, adding health-boosting supplements into your water, like collagen peptides or green powder, can supercharge your hydration and help deliver vital nutrition to aid recovery after the holidays.
2. EAT IN ADVANCE
Preparing some healthy snacks and eating some nutritious greens, fiber, and healthy fats before a big holiday meal will allow you to eat less and make smarter portion and food choices while celebrating.
3. BEWARE OF BOOZE
Holiday celebrating often means lots and lots of booze. But drink in moderation, as those sneaky calories can add up and intoxication can lead to poorer health choices.
4. TAKE SMALLER BITES
By taking smaller bites, your body will send signals to your brain more quickly that you've had enough to eat. It will also help your body digest more efficiently and properly absorb nutrients.
5. GIVE INTO CRAVINGS IN MODERATION
When you completely restrict yourself and feel like you're missing out on all the holiday fun, you're more likely to give in and binge on unhealthy foods. By choosing your splurges mindfully, you can enjoy your favorite foods in moderation and still keep those unwanted pounds off.
The practice of mindfulness can also be applied to holiday snacking by taking time to slow down, chew slowly, and really savor each flavor and bite. This will allow you to better control your portions and appetite.
7. GET MOVING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
A lot of those pesky holiday pounds sneak up on us as we inevitably move less as the weather gets colder. Finding opportunities to hit the gym or get moving in any way possible will help burn off those holiday snacks.
8. DRINK BETWEEN BITES
Staying properly hydrated is a crucial part of keeping unwanted weight gain away during the holidays. Taking sips of water between bites can help you feel full faster and stay satisfied longer.
9. SET REALISTIC GOALS
Most of us are way too hard on ourselves, especially when it comes to our health goals. Give yourself some room to enjoy celebrations with family and friends and remember that slight weight fluctuations are perfectly normal and happen to all of us.
