It’s the Christmas season again! How can you avoid putting on extra weight while still having a good time?
Below are a few holiday eating tips we have put together for you, stay healthy, have fun and don’t deprive yourself of all that is good in the holiday season.
- Don’t Go Hungry: one way to avoid over indulging at all the parties is to eat a healthy meal before you go and be full, then you can pick and choose a few treats.
- Smaller Portions: try a little bit of lots of treats rather than a big portion of your favorite, be adventurous and remember to keep your portion sizes smaller through the night.
- Avoid the Fat: try and limit those high fat items if you can including, deep fried food, cheese-fillings, pies, salami and sausages, pastries and baked goods.
- Try other versions of alcohol: instead of beer, Bailey’s and cocktails, try dry wine, Cesars or spirits with diet mixes which have fewer calories.
- Water, Water, Water: try drinking a glass of water in-between alcoholic drinks it will keep you hydrated and slow down the rate at which you drink helping you consume less calories.
- Keep Active: most important of all is to try and keep up with some exercise rather than doing none through the holidays. Look at every workout as a way to earn those extra treats.
