Weight Loss and the Holidays
Hi Everyone,
When I weighed 280 pounds and was dieting, the holidays scared me! I knew I wanted to enjoy the tasty treats but I wasn’t sure how I would stick to my healthy eating plan.
Now, after keeping off over 140 pounds for years, holidays and worry about my healthy eating plan are a thing of the past!
Here are some tips I used to deal with weight loss and the holidays:
Exercise a little more. There is a science behind weight loss and it involves a simple equation of calories in must be less than calories out. How can you achieve this? Simple! Think about your favorite holiday treats, find the calories content and increase your exercise plan to burn those calories. Then you can enjoy your treat guilt free!
Allow yourself a treat day. I allowed myself one treat day per month and increased by calories to 2000 daily.
Plan your meals and snacks ahead of time. This tips allows you to stick to your healthy eating plan by deciding ahead the foods you’ll allow yourself to have.
These are the tips I used for weight loss and the holidays in 2004 that helped me lose over 140 pounds. These are the tips I continue to use to maintain the weight loss for many years.
Happy Holidays!
