This morning, I woke up to a very informative email from my inspiration, Alejandra Font with Fitness Concepts. The "Do's" and "Don't" of holiday eating. If you ladies knew her, trust me, you would listen. I'm sharing this with you because I love my readers. Enjoy!!
DON’T try to convince yourself that you’re going to eat less after the event. There is not as much motivation because the event you were dieting for has already passed.
DO eat less for the 3-5 days leading up to the event. You’ll look even better when you turn up at the event and you will feel less guilty when you enjoy yourself.
DO dress sexy. Wear something tight, do your hair up, put on your highest heels etc. you will feel much less like crushing a huge dinner.
DON'T drink wine or beer. Go for hard alcohol if you must have something. Why? Because you can nurse a hard drink all night, but wine and beer you are more likely to get seconds.
DO position yourself as far away from the appetizer table as possible
DON’T sit in front of the TV. What’s on TV this thanksgiving? An awesome football game. What’s in front of the TV? Most likely a table with snacks. If you really want to watch the game then do it standing up or follow the tips #here#
DO bring your own dish to the occasion. Nobody has to know that it’s healthy or low calorie and at least you’ll know how many calories and the ingredients that are in it.
DO send people home with food if you are hosting a party.
DO sit at the table as far from the unhealthy food options as possible. If you have to keep standing up, putting your drink down and reaching across aunt Margaret to grab a piece of bread you’re not going to have as many pieces as if it was right in front of you.
Stick to these guidelines and I promise you will keep the weight off while everyone around you gains another 4-8 pounds!
