Tips to Avoid Holiday Weight Gain

Why wait until the New Year to set a weight loss goal?   I would like to avoid gaining the average 10 pounds a person can expect to gain over the months of November and December.   So I need to make a plan and put some action behind it.    Here are some tips I came up with to help us all stay on track.

1.  Have a plan for fitness.   Plan to workout at home, go for a walk or run, or hit the gym for at least 30 minutes 5 or 6 days a week.

2.  Have a plan for nutrition.  Meal plan on the weekend.   Make sure you shop and prep the food ahead of time for easy access.   Cook chicken and portion it out ahead of time.   Cut up vegetables and fruit and use ziplock bags for easy storage.   Know what you are going to eat and how much.   

3.  Be accountable.   You've got goals, shout them out!   Tell a friend or spouse, post to social media.  Find a small group of like minded individuals to help keep you accountable.

4.  Drink your water.   Current recommendation are to divide your current weight by 2 and drink that amount in ounces of water.   For example if you weigh 150 pounds you should be drinking 75 ounces of water each day.  

5. Eliminate temptation.   Donate treats that are still in your house to a local food pantry.   Don't buy what you know you can't manage.   You control what goes in your shopping cart and it has to start there.  

These are just a handful.   Do you have tips of your own?  Share them below!   I would love to hear from you.  

Losing weight during the Holidays can happen.   Stop guessing what needs to be done and make a plan.   Fill out my form below and I will connect you with simple nutrition and fitness that works!
