Holiday Weight Loss Tip 8

8.
Eat In Moderation With Smaller Portions. As discussed earlier,
take smaller portions of all those calorie packed goodies. This way, you can still
partake of all the wonderful eats without packing on all the extra pounds that go
along with all those goodies. And remember too to balance out the bad foods, or
those that are packed with sugars and carbohydrates, with good foods such as
plain fruits and vegetables.

7.
Go For The Healthy Food Choices. Almost every family unit has at
least one 'health nut' within its midst. If there are healthy food choices available,
then eat more of the plain fruits and vegetables instead of the pies cakes and
cookies in the holiday 'spread'. Remember too that extra dips can help pack on
the pounds. Don't be afraid to ask what the dips are made from so you can make
a more informed judgment on whether or not you can enjoy them. Also, you can
always bring healthier food dips for fruits and veggies with you such as yogurt or
reduced calorie veggie dips that are sold at most major grocery stores before the
big get-together.

Holiday Weight Loss Tip 6

6.
Know Your Eating Boundaries And Don't Cross Them. This
tip is especially important if you are already dieting or trying to lose weight. You
know better than Aunt Betty what you can eat. Even though her home-made
pound cake might taste wonderful, you may want to not opt for seconds if you
are on a strict diet. Many people like to splurge around the holiday season, but
it's all a matter of will power really. If you just can't help yourself and must have
some of Uncle Fred's ambrosia salad, then take a smaller than normal portion of
it.

Holiday Weight Loss Tip 5

5.
Eat One Big Meal Instead Of Continuous Snacking Or
Smaller Meals. Opinions will vary on this one, but whether you're eating a
bigger meal once, or several smaller meals throughout the day, the amount of
food you are taking in is just about the same at any rate. The difference in eating
a big meal once is that you will be completely full, or have the full 'feeling' so you
won't be hungry as much. And DO NOT think you can have your 3 square meals
a day and then add a couple of more to the mix. That will most definitely pack on
the unwanted pounds. Remember to always eat in moderation and keep in mind
the full feeling. When you are getting full, STOP EATING!

Holiday Weight Loss Tip 4

4.
Use Reduced Fat, Sugar Substitutes, or Fat Free
Ingredients in Your Recipes. Lots of people complain that fat-free or
reduced fat ingredients change the flavor of their favorite recipes, and not in a
good way. But, in all reality, there is barely a hint of difference in flavor. In fact,
if one did not have the knowledge that normal ingredients such as sour cream
had been replaced with a fat-free or reduced fat substitute, you would never hear
a peep about the taste. When replacing sugar such as pure cane sugar with a
substitute such as Splenda, Equal, or the like, you may notice a taste difference.
So, in this case, if you have picky family members, simply make two versions of
the same dessert or snacks and let your family opt for their own choic

Holiday Weight Loss Tip 3

3.
Don't Count Calories Incessantly. This is unnecessary and will
drive your loved ones crazy and yourself too. Let's face it; there are enough
stressors around the Holidays to worry about. Gaining an extra few pounds
should be the least of your troubles! The best thing you can do if you are already
dieting is to watch not what you eat, but how much of it you are eating instead of
trying to keep track of your caloric intake. Unless of course you are on a strict
diet and need to avoid things that contain higher carbohydrates, sugars, etc. In
this case, you would obviously want to avoid eating things like potatoes, breads,
cookies, candies, cakes, etc.

Holiday Weight Loss Tip 2

2.
Take A Few Extra or Longer Walks. Walking is a terrific form of
exercise, and can be a great cardiovascular work out in colder temperatures.
Especially when there is a nice layer of snow on the ground. Next time you go to
let your dog out to do their bathroom 'business', why not slip on your coat and
shoes, grab their leash and take them for a walk around the block, or down a few
blocks. Fido will love you for it and you will be making yourself a healthier 'you'
by doing it as well.

Holiday Weight Loss Tip 1

1.
Stop Eating When You Feel Full. This is something most people
won’t, or don't, do. Especially those that are in the 'clean plate' club and don't
like to leave extra or left over food on their plates. Honestly, there is absolutely
no shame in leaving that extra portion of food on your plate. When your tummy
feels full, just push yourself away from the table and say "No More For Me
Thanks!”

15 TIPS FOR HOLIDAY WEIGHT LOSS


15 TIPS FOR HOLIDAY WEIGHT LOSS


The Holiday Season is one in which we all indulge ourselves in over-abundance.
Especially when it comes to food. Food has become a central part of our get
togethers and parties around the holidays, so it is important that we remember
to make smart food choices. And this is something that is almost always easier
said than done when you see some of the decadent food choices made available,
made with love, by your friends and family.

In most cases, the majority of the party-going people won't be concerned with
watching their weight, so they are less inclined to bring healthier versions of
their best recipes. Then it becomes our own burden to stick with our diets or to
watch what we eat as the food choices are always so tempting!

The following 15 holiday eating tips are here to help you when going to holiday
parties to better watch your weight by giving you some great ideas.
