Dieting Tips to Get You Through the Holidays!
The holiday season is just around the corner and so are all those extra calories from Halloween candy, Thanksgiving leftovers and Christmas parties. The average American puts on 10 pounds during the holidays but that doesn’t have to be you. It is possible to enjoy the holiday season without gaining too much excess body fat. Here are a few dieting tips to get your through the holidays!
1. Portion Control! Portion control is the most important factor in not gaining excess body fat during the holidays. Simply put don’t over-do it. Enjoy the foods you like but do so in moderation.
2. Choose Your Food Wisely! Research suggests that you’ll consume the largest quantity of the foods you eat first, so set yourself up for success by starting with something healthy and or low-calorie.
3. Downsize Your Plate! If you have the option to go for a smaller plate when you’re eating at holiday functions. Downsize your plate to trick your brain into thinking you are eating more.
4. Nibble and Sip! Take smaller sips and bites to trick your brain into eating 30 percent fewer calories! Studies find that when you take nibbles, chew your food longer and eat slower, your brain thinks you’ve eaten more.
5. Never Arrive Hungry! Planning ahead can help you maintain discipline in the face of temptation. Don’t go to a party starving.
6. Bring Your Own Treats. Whether you’re going to a friend’s party or an office potluck, consider bringing a low-calorie treat that you know you’ll enjoy. Bringing your own dessert will make the more fattening alternatives less tempting.
