The top 5 things you can do to avoiding holiday weight gain.

1. Avoid over eating and consuming big meals.
Eating in excess will only help gain weight. Once you body is full, most of the extra calories will be stored for later use and that's the last thing you want. Just think one of those high calorie meals, which can be in the 2000-3000 calorie range, would take 5 hrs to burn off you walked at a fast paced walk. Its just not worth it.

2. Avoiding drinking high calorie alcohol drinks.
Drinking alcohol not only adds unwanted calories, but slows your metabolism down. This the last thing you want to do if your trying to lose weight. Also alcohol raises the blood sugar, which causes weight gain.

3. Walk after your meals at least 10-15 minutes.
10-15 minutes can make all the difference in your weight loss goals. Most people feel like taking a nap after those big meals. A walk would not only help burn calories, but increase your energy throughout the day.

4. Try to eat 5 small meals on those party days.
With each meal please, please try to consume a high protein source. (turkey, chicken, low fat cheese, almonds, and/or fish) This will help stabilize blood sugar, which will help your energy levels and weight loss goals.

5. Avoid sweets as much as possible.
Consuming sweets not only adds unwanted calories, but raises your blood sugar levels fast. This causes your body to go into fat storing mode. No pies, cakes, or cookies. Ok a few:)
