It is the holiday season, and everyone is eating! This time of year always presents us with a present that keeps on giving: Holiday weight gain. Here are 5 easy tips to help you avoid that "gift"....
*Stay hydrated - If you are craving something salty then you are likely dehydrated. Drink at least 2-3 glasses of water before you go to the party to help avoid consuming too many "salty" calories (i.e. Chips, etc.)
*Eat healthy/whole carbs - Your brain thrives on healthy carbs. Eating empty carbohydrates (i.e. Cookies, sweets) only causes your insulin to rise and fall quickly. Keep your plate filled with fresh fruit and veggies.
*Take a nap - When we're tired, we overeat. Make sure you are well rested before you go.
*Take a seat - If you are constantly standing at the serving area, you will likely overeat. Try sitting down to eat what's on your plate before you refill.
