How to not gain weight during the holidays!

Christmas is almost here, this means family gatherings, events at work and parties. As usual, food is always involved and it’s even the center of attention, to some, this could not only mean weight gain, but could also mean higher levels of insulin, glucose, cholesterol and triaglicerides in your blood stream. Here are some tips to prevent this:

HAVE BREAKFAST

You know that skipping meals can cause you to eat more later in the day, and this is not healthy for your body

PORTION CONTROL

If you want to enjoy the meals with your family and friends, be cautious about what you are having and the quantities of your choices. Remember, just because it’s healthy doesn’t mean it’s unlimited.

DRINK YOUR WATER, gurl

Doing so will help you stay full and will prevent snacking.

EAT SLOWLY & BE ACTIVE

Eating slowly helps your stomach digest the food better, prevents you from eating more than you should and it will allow you to savor your food. After your meal, take a walk, play a game, or do as much as you can to stay active and burn those calories.

AVOID ALCOHOL

There’s nothing worst than drinking away your calories! The problem also is that it never stops at “just one”. Ask yourself, are 2 hours of fun worth the stress of dieting?
