With the holidays coming up weight gain is on many minds. Here
are a few tips on keeping that holiday weight at bay.
Use Moderation When Cheating On Your Diet: Allow yourself to
indulge a little here and there, but limit your portions.
Make Yourself A Goal To Do Something Active Each Day: Try to get
out and move for at least 30 minutes.
When Short On Time, Emphasize on Weight Training: Muscle aids
in burning fat, and will help to fight off the extras that you normally
don't eat.
Eat A Balance Of Macronutrients: Do not cut out any food groups.
If you are hungry, fill up on protein and veggies as protein increases
your metabolism by up to 20 percent and veggies take more calories
to digest than what they contain.
Limit Your Alcohol Consumption: You are better off eating an extra
cookie than consuming numerous cocktails. Excess alcohol just
contributes too much to fat gain.
Drink Plenty Of Water: Many times we will overeat because we are
dehydrated and thirsty. Therefore, make sure that your water intake
is adequate.
Eat Your Regularly Scheduled Meals: If you skip meals in
preparation for a family gathering and the buffet of food set out at a
holiday party, you are setting yourself up for disaster.
