It is estimated that the average American gains five pounds
from Christmas to New Year’s. Forbes Living TV shares tips to enjoy the
holidays without gaining (too much) weight.
It is the most wonderful time of the year when the homes are
filled with sweet treats and sumptuous meals. The holiday season is when people
proudly want us to try their goodies, offer us fat and calorie-laden eggnog and
cheerfully encourage us to partake in alcohol. How does the health-minded
person make it though the one week when most people gain weight?
Before visiting someone’s home, drink plenty of water and
maybe even have a small cup of broth-based soup. This helps us feel fuller
sooner and we’re less tempted to overeat later.
Pour wine with the glass on the table and not in the hand.
Also, use a more narrow wine glass and fill it only half full.
Nibble on appetizers. Eat less of them and take your time.
Stand way from buffet tables. The farther away you are the
less chance of casually snacking on everything offered. Socialize instead.
Forbes Living also suggests taking 30 minutes for yourself
every day to relax and de-stress. Take a bath, read a book or get a massage. You’ll
feel better and will be less likely to indulge in fatty comfort foods.
