How to avoid overeating at holiday functions:

• Survey the table and decide what foods you’ll eat and what foods will be ignored and stick to your decision. Why waste calories on foods you don’t love?
• Eat a snack before you leave home, so you won’t overindulge.
• Eat your calories instead of drinking them. Punches, eggnogs, and mixed drinks can have up to 500 calorie per cup.
• Sip on a large glass of water between every alcoholic drink. This will help you stay hydrated and consume fewer calories.
• When you are the host/hostess include lower calorie vegetables and lean meats.
• When you are a guest bring a lower calorie dish.
• Do not hang out near the food table. Find a comfortable spot across the room with people instead.
• Watch portion sizes. Don’t cover your plate completely with food. Leave a few bites of food behind.
• Enjoy your favorites in small portions and eat slowly.

Exercising during holidays:

Try to be flexible. You may not work out according to your normal pattern. Try to sneak in exercise when you can, by taking a walk after a large meal, when traveling check out the gym at your hotel, walk the stairs, or use rubber resistant bands to strengthen and tone. Offer your company a guest pass at the Sports Barn to exercise with you and make Holiday memories that are remembered long after the gifts are opened.

Trying to lose weight?

Change your mindset. Focus on not gaining weight. Don’t think you are deprived if you can’t eat your favorite foods. Splurge on foods that make the holiday seasons meaningful and skip all the other empty calorie foods. Cut back on portion sizes, eat half of what you normally would so you can try enjoy more foods.
