Over the years, few pounds gained over the holidays
here and there add up to 10, 20, 30 pounds of excess fat! To avoid falling
into the holiday fat trap, follow these simple tips:
1. Depriving yourself once is likely to cause
you to eat everything in sight the next day to "compensate" for your
suffering.
2. Remember, this is not the last time in your
life that you can eat so you don't need to stuff yourself!
3. Eat slowly. It takes our body about 20 minutes
to realize that we are full.
4. If you are cooking the food, prepare healthier
versions of traditional dishes.
5. Choose the turkey breast meat, since it has
fewer calories then dark meat. Also, most of the fat in a turkey is
contained in the skin.
Try sampling. Sampling everything on the menu
will leave you more satisfied since you've tried everything there is.
But remember that you need to eat in moderation. Some hosts will try
to push more and more food to your plate. You just need to be strong-willed
yet polite. If you are succesful you will thank yourself later. Better
yet, if you do manage to stick to your plan then go ahead and have a
small helping of dessert to reward yourself!
