Holidays are capable of derailing the strictest of weight loss plans. But try these fun ways of losing weight around the holidays and see if it works.
Adopt portion control when you serve food for yourself. Have small portions of food and wait for at least 15-20 minutes before going for a second helping because the brain takes that long to signal if your stomach is full or not.
Eat plenty of salads, which is healthy, before going for the main course. You will already feel full from salads and will not eat too much of the main course.
Drink lots of water as it is normal to confuse thirst pangs for hunger pangs. If you still feel hungry after a full meal, drink enough water and your hunger pangs will go away.
When you go for parties, stand instead of sitting or shake your legs to the music as opposed to nibbling needlessly at fried snacks.
Self motivate yourself with some pep-talk. You can say,” I will not eat” or “ I can say no to food” whenever you see food.
Enhance the fun factor with friends and family at some resort with physical activity like hiking, swimming or dancing during the holidays.
Prepare oil-free healthy dishes with chicken, veggies, fish and use these fun ways to lose weight around the holidays.
