Five Quick Weight Loss Tips and Avoiding Extra Holiday Pounds

Are there any easy weight loss tips to help me lose weight faster and avoid those extra holiday pounds?

1. Telling yourself that it’s okay, it’s the holidays, opens the door to weeks of splurging. You think that you can control 1 days of binging and then going back to eat healthier? You answer that question.

2. It is a good idea to EAT before you meet at parties. Eat a hard-boiled egg, apple, water, seltzer, tea to help decrease your appetite so when you get to the party, your eyes are not bigger than your stomach.

3. This may sound obvious but don’t stand near the food at parties. Have a seat away from the food. Get up and dance. That expression “out of sight, out of mind” does work.

4. Do you eat at buffets? If you eat a little of everything almost guarantees you will be eating a lot of high calorie foods. Try and decide on 3 or 4 things, which only one is high calorie. Save the high calorie food for last so there’s less chance of you overeating.

5. During the holidays, wear your snuggest or tightest clothes and won’t give you room for much expansion. Save the sweats until January when the holidays are over.
