Healthy Solutions For The Holidays

America has been among the most obese people and the number just goes up each time Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year happens. If you dread ruining your hundred dollar-workout program, you must have a good plan against huge weight gain this holiday. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Eat less the rest of the month. We all know that the last week of November will be the worst week for keeping off the pounds. However, try and balance things out some by not eating as much during the first part of the month. Limit your junk food intake for the entire month. After, you won't pack on too much fat and will be able to munch on more food for Thanksgiving.

2.Say no to little eating traps. Do not fall victim to taking home the leftover key lime pie or the pumpkin cheesecake. Let other relatives who are not worried about their looks or health do the honors. Research has been done to prove that if you put junk food in your immediate sight, you will eat it. This just goes to show that you will munch on a lot of stuff and grow huge. The logical thing to do is to not put this type of temptation in your home via junk foods.

3. Measure yourdelf. There are only a few people that can look in a mirror and be totally objective about the way that they look. Yesterday you were fit and sexy, tomorrow, you'll grow huge, fat and ugly. No one knows why this happens. But, the figures on the scale are far better factors to consider. It may be harsh and cruel but it actually works.

Choose one day of the week to measure your fat accumulation. Be consistent on the taking it on the same day and time to avoid inconsistencies. The figure on that bathroom scale can change in the blink of an eye. For the girls, keep an eye on those thighs; men must track their bellies. Keep up with these numbers on paper so that you can tell if you are packing on the pounds, losing them or just keeping them in check.

4. Don't go holiday food crazy. Learn how to eat your favorites in moderation. Never ever gobble up on a cookie spree these holidays. It is very possible to eat 10,000 calories in a day if you tell yourself that it is okay to do so.

5. Lastly, it is best to promise eating healthy to someone who lives with you or a best friend. Having someone accountable for your healthy eating during this season is one of the best ways to stay true to your word and weight loss plan. Just make sure that you're getting someone to look over you who knows how tough weight loss is. Best part is, you can both keep an eye on each other, making sure that you're both gobbling up enough good food.
