How To Eat Well And Still Enjoy The Holidays

The holidays are filled with food, friends, food

, family and more food. For people who are on a weight loss journey this is a tough time of year. Many say that the average weight gain during the holiday season is four to five pounds. You may be asking how can I eat well and still enjoy the holidays? It is possible to enjoy the wonderful food that is abundant throughout the holiday season. One way to do this is to eat a little bit of everything that you enjoy.

The non-diet approach tells us to eat what our body needs. In order to start losing weight, we must learn to stop eating as soon as we are full. You can do this by listening to what your body is saying. We are quickly approaching the holiday season. There will be a mass amount of food on the table. You start with your favorites and quickly realize that you are full. Congratulations on listening to your body, but you have missed out on so much other delicious foods. The way to avoid this during the upcoming holiday season is to take a small amount of all the foods that you want. If you are done and still hungry you can always get more. The important part is to stop when you are full.

One common mistake during the holidays is to skip meals, saving all of our hunger for the big meal. This is not recommended as it could cause you to overeat during the meal. Eat what your body needs throughout the day, and you can still enjoy a meal at the party.

It is important to be aware of your emotions. The holidays can bring up various emotions, both good and bad. If you are the type of person who eats to cover emotions, it is especially important to ensure that your body is in control of what you eat and not how you are feeling emotionally. This can be done by checking in with family and friends about how you feel. You can also focus on eating what your body needs and stopping when you are full.

Many times during the holidays we get pushed into eating even if we are not hungry. If your body is saying you are full, then it is okay to say no to food. Take a stand for yourself. You can do this by complimenting the food and then firmly saying no thanks.

The most important holiday tip is to take time for yourself! There are a lot of events going on during the holidays. This can take away from the you time that you deserve. Take a break from the chaos to enjoy a peaceful walk or watch a favorite movie. Do not forget about you during the holiday season.
