1. TIPS FOR A TRIMMER YOU!
Especially when it comes to food. Food has become a central part of our get together 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!
1. Stop Eating When You Feel Full. This is something most people wont, 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!".
2. 2. Take A Few Extra or Longer Walks. Walking is a terrific form of exercise and can
be a great cardiovascular workout 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.
3. Don't Count Calories Incessantly. This is unnecessary and will drive your loved ones
crazy, and yourself too. Let's face it, there's 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.
3. 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 choice.
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!
4. 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 splurg
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.
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 those 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.
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.
5. 9. Drink in Moderation. No, this is not an advertisement for drinking and driving, even
though you should always have a designated driver if you plan on drinking more than the
legal limit of course, or anything at all due to cold, icy, roads. Rather, many holiday drinks
are packed with extra sugars, so watch how much of the good old egg nog you drink. This
goes for either alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages. Water is always a great choice, or
non-sweetened tea or coffee. There too, is also diet soda pop if you are a soda drinker.
10.Substitute Whole Grains In Lieu of Higher Carbohydrate Filled Grains. Try to
steer clear of white breads, sugary cakes, potatoes, cookies, or anything else that you
believe to have a high carbohydrate count. These can put a lot of weight on you quickly
and is why many diets try to steer clear of these carb laden monoliths. Go for the whole
wheat, multi-grain, sugar substitute holiday food choices. Sure, it's not the same as loading
up on all the 'bad-for-you' foods, but you'll be glad you did when January rolls around.
11.No Eating After 7p.m. This can be extremely difficult to do. Especially when most
holiday get togethers happen after 7 o'clock! If this is the case, then you should eat before
you go to the holiday bash. Most foods are not properly burned off if eaten after 7 o'clock
p.m. So, it's best if you eat long before this time rolls around. However, you can eat
6. something healthy such as fruits or vegetables minus the fatty dips if you really need to
snack on something.
12.Drink More Liquids Than Eating. Drinking more liquids will fool your body into
believing it is full. Therefore, you can drink lots of water, unsweetened tea or coffee, diet
sodas, low calorie fruit smoothies or soft drinks(non-carbonated), etc. without feeling the
guilt of overeating. Stay away from higher sweetened drinks as this will defeat the purpose
of watching your weight.
13.Eat Something Before You Go Grocery Shopping. Actually, you should eat
something before you do any out of the house, or in house for that matter, activity that will
burn calories. But the main reason for going grocery shopping on a full stomach is that you
will be less inclined to purchase all those fattening junk foods because you are not hungry,
so you aren't tempted by those types of food choices. You will be able to stay on track and
only purchase those things you need from the grocery store instead of packing your cart
with weight packing foods!
14.Plan an Out-Door Activity. Depending on the region you live it, whether the weather
is warmer or colder, plan on doing something outdoors. This can be something you do by
yourself, with family, or friends that doesn't involve any eating. Things like cutting down
your own Christmas Tree, shopping for gifts, either last minute or not, walking through the
park (you may want to do this with someone or a group of someones for safety reasons),
going sledding, skiing, skating, playing some backyard football, collecting pinecones, and
creating some simple bird feeders with bird seed and peanut butter, and any other activities
you can think up. Try to do one thing each week to replace a day of exercise or work out
that you would normally do to keep things interesting and everyone in the holiday spirit!
15.No Healthy Food Choices? Bring Some! Cutting up vegetables or fruits to create a
holiday health tray can be a nice 'change of pace' for your friends or family. Why not try
brining some healthy holiday cheer at your next get together. Chances are, someone else
in your extended friends or family network are trying to watch their wastes too and would
appreciate having a healthier-than-normal food choice. Even if that isn't the case, you are
still saving yourself tons of work out time later once all those extra caloric fatty foods are
attaching themselves to your waistline.
7. Of course, there are always more things you can do to watch your weight year-round. Try
incorporating some of those things during the holidays as well since we all tend to eat a bit more
and make less than savory choices to keep ourselves healthy, fit, and trim. Take the ideas in the
tips above and fit them in to your lifestyle by changing them up a bit. Remember being healthy is
a lifestyle in and of itself and should be practiced year-round. It's especially important not to slack
off around the holiday season when most of the unhealthy food choices are abundant.
For a happy and enjoyable life
