Hello there,
We all excited when it is time for holidays, but there is a bit of a downside. Holidays come with increased eating of unhealthy or fattening foods and less commitment in the exercise or healthy arena. Weight gains are usually recorded during the holiday season, but with these tips, you can manage to maintain your weight.
Just because it is holidays shouldn’t mean that you should forget about eating healthy or exercise. The traditional foods that are prepared for the holidays can still be consumed in a healthy way for example, turkey with all its trimmings is tasty. To enjoy it healthily, make sure you remove the skin.
Exercise should also remain a key focus for you, especially during the holidays. Holidays are meant for relaxation, and for most people they are also meant for reduced physical activity. The good thing is that holidays are associated with shopping, which can be a great opportunity for you. Walk as much as you can while you are at the mall, and try to find parking that is far from the mall entrance. Even the little things will make a difference.
While we are in the topic of shopping, make sure you eat before you go out shopping. You will be less likely to be tempted to eat something at the mall, and not necessarily because you are hungry but because it will be tempting for you.
Don’t forget everything you have learnt about portion sizes. Portions can make a big difference to you having control of your weight. This can be challenging because during the holidays everyone one just seems to be eating away, and your cousin who eats whatever she wants and not gain weight will be at most family gatherings that you will be attending. Challenging as it may be, you still need to exercise some discipline.
Alcohol usually flows nonstop during the holidays. Try and stay away as much as you can. If you must, keep it lite.
Holidays are definitely hard for weight management but if you follow these tips, you might come off the holiday season with little regret.
