How to Avoid Gaining Weight During The Holiday Season?

The holidays are approaching again! At this time we seem to be surrounded by tons of food which we find difficult to resist!

Let's try to :

1) Be sure to start every day with a healthy breakfast.

- seems easy to follow

2) Avoid drinking alcohol at holiday gatherings. Stick with water.

- I'll have 1-2 glass of wine (can't avoid it by 100%)

3) When it comes to appetizers, munch on raw veggies or crackers without the cheese. Keep up conversations!

- I can do it

4) It is now dinner time. Take a small helping of each food item. Eat slowly and enjoy every bite. Again keep up conversations!

- I will, but it's a lot of food...

5) Dessert time! Opt for your favorite available dessert. Be sure to be served a sliver as opposed to a large chunk. Sipping a cup of coffee or tea at this time will also help distract from further temptation. Conversations are key here again!

- Easy,especially after dinner time :o)

6) Most importantly, exercise over the holidays to continuously burn calories.

- Can't promise that I'll go to the GYM, but I will walk instead of driving much as possible.
