Tips for staying on top of your weight loss during silly season
Stay Hydrated
Staying hydrated not only supports your overall health but also helps control hunger, making it easier to resist tempting treats.
Opt for Healthy Swaps
Make smart substitutions in holiday recipes. Choose whole-grain options, incorporate lean proteins, and use healthier cooking methods to enjoy festive meals without compromising your goals.
Eat Mindfully
Practise mindful eating by savouring each bite and paying attention to hunger and fullness cues. Enjoy the flavours of the season without overindulging.
Limit Alcohol Intake
As we all know, alcoholic drinks can contribute excess calories. Consider alternating between water and alcoholic drinks at your holiday functions to stay mindful of your consumption.
Keep Moving
Maintain your regular exercise routine or find creative ways to stay active during the holiday season. Go for a brisk walk after a meal, dance to festive tunes, or engage in holiday-themed workouts.
Practise Portion Control
Enjoy the festive spread but be mindful of portion sizes. Use smaller plates, fill half your plate with vegetables, and savour each bite to prevent overeating.
Set Realistic Goals
Acknowledge that the holiday season may come with occasional indulgences. Set realistic goals that allow you to enjoy the festivities without derailing your entire weight loss plan.
