A lot of citizen out there connect over eating with having a good time, but if you are one such person you must turn this mind set. I promise you you will have a great time during and long after the holidays are over if you eat proper portion sizes.
Do not neglect your exercise disposition during the holiday season. It is important that you keep exercising during the season, and by the way, going shopping for gifts does not count, you need a quarterly disposition of both aerobics and power training. This will at least keep your weight under operate so that come January you are not pulling your hair out seeing at a run away scale.
Food And Dessert
Reduce your portion sizes when eating. Try not to pile on the food on your plate on the first round, but instead take a small portions, chew your food properly, and eat slowly. This will forestall you from overeating. And once you feel full then that is your cue to stop eating.
Try not to have desserts at every particular meal during the holiday season. The holiday season is not a license to eat more desserts! If you must have desserts them at least have a bowl of fruit or a fruit salad. Avoid desserts such as pies and ice streams and foods with high-fat and high sugar content that are very refined, these foods tend to go directly to your bottom line.
Avoid drinking alcohol in any form, as this is very high in calories and have surely no nutritional value to your body. Also try not to drink too much eggnog, sodas and other high sugar drinks, instead just have a glass of water. Water is all your body needs, and it will also help you from overeating.
A lot of citizen connect separate sounds, such as music with eating, during the holiday season. And as I said earlier the holiday season tend to get longer and longer each year. It is astonishing that we start to hear Christmas music playing on the radio and in the store's from as early as October. Hearing these music while you shop is one thing but my guidance is still limit the playing of these music in your own home so early in the season. The holiday music, sights, and smells will trigger your subconscious to want to eat. Support the holiday music for the appropriate time.
Try not to starve yourself before going to a house get-together over the holiday season. Denying yourself food will only growth your hunger intensity and this will force you to over eat when the food is finally presented to you. Try to stay on program and eat your three meals as general during the day. Have a big breakfast, moderate lunch, and a light dinner.
This brings me to my next point, try not to eat after 7 Pm at night during the holiday season. I know this will be hard to do as a lot of times separate parties and get-together do not get started until well after 8 Pm. But eating this late at night will force your body to store the excess as fat. So if you must eat late at night then you should significantly sell out your portion sizes, and aim more for the fruits and vegetables.
Gaining weight is a real risk during the holiday season. With most American adults putting on at least six extra pounds from Thanksgiving straight through to Christmas. But you can surely avoid this trend, and not come to be a statistic by following these simple tips during the season.
Happy holidays
