10 Ways to Beat the Holiday Season Weight Gain
- Develop a Plan.
- Stick to Your Plan.
- Eat Right 90% of the Time:
- At 21 meals per week (3×7) 90% equals 19 meals,
- So 2 meals a week that are “Off Your Plan”.
- Be Kind to Your Body. Like putting the correct octane in your car, put the correct octane in your body.
- Get Moving. Find a away to get exercise. Holidays can be stressful, exercise is a great way to beat stress.
- Don’t Beat yourself up. If you fall off the wagon, put it behind you and get back on your plan.
- Be Prepared. Pack healthy snacks for yourself and the family if you are going out.
- Be Accountable:
- Step on the scale,
- Use the tape measure,
- Count calories,
- When eating out ask for a doggy bag before dinner, cut the plate in half and bring half home, or split with your partner.
- Eat Several Times a Day. Don’t wait for meal time. Enjoy healthy snacks.
- Stay Hydrated. This does not mean drinking a lot of coffee, juice, or coke, but drinking water.
Have a Happy and Healthy Holiday Season.
