You don't have to let every holiday party become your own personal eating contest, and you don't have to let shopping take the place of your usual exercise routine.
Treating every party as an invitation to indulge is a sure way to add pounds. Here are some tips from the experts to keep calories in check.
"If you are going to a party, planning ahead," said Dr. Cindy Gleit. "Counting the number of cookies you are going to eat. Eat a lower calorie meal for lunch. Load up on vegetables during the party or your first trip to the serving trays, that way you will eat less for the bad for you foods as you go."
The holidays can cause an internal struggle between the desire to splurge on festive treats and the will to avoid the inevitable weight gain that ensues after overindulging.
Experts say the average person gain 6 to 8 pounds during holidays. This is an example of 5 pounds of fat. It would take you about 27 hours on treadmill to burn that off.
"During the holiday season, we really anticipate the weight gain the non activity. There are so many things we can keep in mind when looking at holiday parties and gatherings. Stick to the healthy stuff, it doesn't have to be all dessert, if it is moderation is the key. I know we say that all the time. It is really important to stick to that mind set," she said.
Make a decision to do everything you can to stay active and eat healthy while not depriving yourself of all the fun. Keeping in mind moderation will allow you to enjoy special holiday foods without having to go up a size by January.
