The average American will gain between eight and ten pounds during this festive time of the year.  That does not have to happen, and you can win your "Battle of The Bulge" this holiday season.  I've lost 20 pounds in the last two months, and do not want to put half of it back on during the Holidays as I attend parties, find myself tempted by all those Christmas goodies that are just to readily available everywhere I do, and am sure many are in that same boat.  So, here are a few tips to help you win the holiday battle of the bulge.

 

1.  If you are dieting, working at losing all that unhealthy fat that has slowed you down for years, keep your eye on the prize...a happier, healthy you.  Staying focused on what is truly important is a great way to face temptation and win.

 

2.  Avoid over inbibing...alcohol is dead calories, they have nothing in them, and our bodies burn those calories first, leaving everything else there to be stored as fat.  Furthermore, alcohol lowers our inhibitions, and you do not want to find yourself grazing at the buffet table after two or three drinks do you?

 

3.  Host your own party!  It is a lot easier to find healthy nutritious food at a party you plan and host! 

 

4.  Stay active!  Get up 15 minutes early and go for a walk, and do another walk just before dinner.  The holidays are busy and hectic, and it is easy to miss out on our workouts, so this small walks can help a lot in winning the battle of the bulge.

 

5.  "Just say NO!"  It is your body, and you can just politely say no when the plate of cookies is passed around.  It is a lot easier to say no than it will be to lose 8-10 pounds in the New Year if you over indulge in the Holiday FEASTING!
