Surviving The Holidays Without The Weight Gain!

By Gina Redzanic December 5, 2016

TIPS to Survive the Holidays...without the weight gain!

1. Never Arrive Super Hungry to a Party or Social Gathering

So if you plan ahead and don't go to a party when you're starving, you will have way more control and less temptation to "go nuts" when you see all the food!  Try to have a nutritious snack beforehand. Also keep drinking water throughout the night and fill up more on the healthier options like, raw veggies, salads, and fruit plates. 

2. Focus on other festivities

Many people forget that there's more to the holiday season than food. People tend to focus on all the treats,  big dinners and cookie exchanges. Don't look at the holiday season as just a chance to pig out.  Focus on socializing, dancing, shopping, and other activities during the season. 

3.  Limit Alcohol

Avoid drinking too much alcohol at holiday parties. If you drink a lot you, won't have as much control over what you eat plus it is empty calories. Alcohol also suspends your natural fat burning ability. 

If you feel out of place without a drink,  try sipping water or club soda. When choosing alcohol, opt for the lower calorie choices. 

4. Be Choosy About Sweets

When it comes to dessert, be very selective. It is better to have small tastes of desserts than "pile it on high" on your plate! The sugar overload will surely pack on the pounds by New Year. It will also trigger you to crave more sweets.
