As the holiday season knocks on our door, the struggle is real when it comes to not gaining weight. The combination of celebrations, high-calorie foods and increased stress can make it challenging to stick to your goals. But we’re here to help.
Read on for six tips that’ll have you navigating the holiday season like a wellness pro, plus get a sneak peek into our January Slenderiiz® Challenge.
6 Holiday Hacks for Weight Management
- Start Each Day with a Healthy Breakfast: Some people skip meals to “save up” calories for a big holiday dinner or party, but this strategy may backfire and lead to overeating later. Some studies say that those who kick off the day with a good breakfast end up consuming fewer calories and have better overall health.
- Control Portions: Want to enjoy your faves without feeling guilty after? It’s not about giving up the good stuff; it’s about being smart about it. Picture this: Instead of thinking this is your last chance to indulge, try putting the fork down after a couple of satisfying bites and know there will be plenty more to come. Another easy trick to cut down on calories is to skip the sugary drinks like soda, cider and hot chocolate. These simple moves can help you enjoy holiday treats without wrecking your health goals.
- Put It All on a Plate: Use plates to serve meals and snacks. This hack helps you track your intake, avoiding mindless nibbling. You can even consider dividing your plate into imaginary quadrants — protein, fruits, vegetables, grains — for a balanced approach to holiday meals. A mindful plate equals mindful eating, and it can help you avoid trying everything in a holiday spread of seemingly endless options.
- If You Don’t Love It, Don’t Eat It: Make every calorie count and “Marie Kondo” your holiday menu. What me mean is if it doesn’t “spark joy” for your taste buds, skip it because it’s not worth the calories. Why waste calories on foods that don’t knock your holiday-themed socks off?
- Keep Moving: Exercise is your ally in maintaining or losing weight during the holidays. Not only does it support weight loss, but it also helps you manage stress. Short on time? Something is better than nothing, and 10-minute bursts of activity throughout the day still count.
- Sleep for Success: Don’t underestimate the power of a good night’s sleep, especially during the holiday hustle. Skimping on sleep might lead to weight gain because those who don’t catch enough Z’s often find themselves hungrier, munching more often and skipping workouts. Sleep shortage can even crank up your hunger hormones, pushing you toward a higher calorie intake. So, make sure to prioritize some shut-eye to keep your health goals on track.
