Methods to combat holiday weight gain

 

Get moving

 

It’s an obvious but essential tip, get moving. Exercising releases endorphins and sets the mood for the day. Working out in the morning can help you get ready for the day and boost your energy. Studies have shown that women who work out in the morning are less likely to eat sweets during the day and likely to be more active throughout the day. Go for a walk, take a hike, or do your favorite at-home yoga video.

 

Simple Tips To Avoid Holiday Weight Gain

Choose foods carefully to prevent holiday weight gain

 

Holiday parties have a variety of delicious food. Be selective about what you put on your plate and don’t be afraid to indulge a bit as long as you moderate your portion size. Being too strict with yourself leads to cravings which can result in binging on that same food later on. Have a small sliver of that cake, but don’t go back for seconds or decide to sample every food on the table.

 

Don’t “save” your calories

 

You might want to cut back meals during the day so you can splurge at night for a big meal, but this is a recipe for disaster. You’ll be so hungry that you’re tempted to indulge in everything and it’s extremely easy to go overboard because you’ve been depriving yourself all day or all week for one meal. Continue to eat healthy throughout the day and focus on foods that are filling such as fruits, vegetables, and protein instead of sugary or salty snacks filled with sugar and sodium.

 

Send leftovers away

 

Hosting a party tends to leave you with leftovers. Eliminate the desire to pig out the next day by sending the leftovers home with guests. If the food isn’t there calling your name, there’s no temptation to eat it. Buy some cheap disposable food containers ahead of time and package the food up once you’re all done eating.

 

Synergie Sculpting

 

Food isn’t the only way to treat yourself to something enjoyable. Pampering yourself or going to relax at the spa can improve your confidence and allow you to see the results of your efforts.
