TEN TRICKS TO AVOID HOLIDAY WEIGHT GAIN
Que la période des Fêtes soit pour vous l’occasion de festoyer en famille. Joyeux Noël et Bonne Année à tous!
Sometimes unpleasant surprises come to haunt us after the Christmas holidays, such as frighteningly large credit card statements or a few extra pounds. Finding a solution to the credit card bill is a little more compli- cated, but here are some tips to avoid holiday weight gain: 1. Try not to come to the table starved. Serve some vegetable soup or salad before the main course, and drink a large glass of water before sitting down to eat. 2. Try your best to avoid hors d’oeuvres. Those made with flaky pastry are very high in calories and fat. Skip the creamy dip on the veggie tray as often as you can. 3. Choose your foods carefully. Avoid the empty calories of chips, pastries, and fried foods; opt for nutritious foods that will leave you feeling full and energized, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean meats. 4. Stay away from buffets. It has been prov- en that we eat more if we can choose items one at a time rather than having a
complete meal served to us on a plate. If the buffet is unavoidable, why not ask a friend to put together a nutritious plate for you? 5. Drink with moderation. Alcohol is high in calories, so drink slowly and alternate with low-calorie non-alcoholic drinks. 6. Eat slowly and breathe between bites. Adopt the rhythm of the slowest eater at your table. 7. Eat light meals in between social events. Opt for fruits and vegetables, which are often under-represented in Christmas meals. 8. Decline a second serving. When seconds are offered, take a breath and a sip of water, and check in with yourself to see if you’re feeling full. 9. Exercise. During the holidays we tend to eat more and exercise less. In fact, it’s important to keep moving when we’re eating more. 10. Sleep! Lack of sleep deprives us of the necessary energy to resist temptations and excess.
