9 Ways to Avoid Gaining Weight During The Holiday Season
6. Drink less of sweet drinks, more of water
Sweet drinks include anything from soda to fruit juices and drinks to caloric mixers. These increase your appetite and provide no bulk in the gastrointestinal tract which acts as an appetite suppressant. Drink water as frequently as possible as it eliminates body waste and helps in giving you a sense of fullness.
7. Include veggies and fruits
Veggies and fruits are always a healthy, nutritious and calorie-free option. Stack your plate with helpings of veggies at holiday parties instead of going for fatty foods.
8. Eat something before you go to a party
Nibble on a light snack before you leave for a party. You can eat a handful of almonds or a slice of bread with peanut butter. This way you will feel full and will control on your fatty food intake at the party.
9. Reduce alcohol intake
Alcohol contains innumerable calories. So even if you decide to have 3 extra large glasses of wine, that will spell out trouble for you. For many, having too much alcohol the night before leads to more hunger pangs and cravings for junk food in the morning.
These are ways to enjoy as well as stay slim through Christmas.
