I said in a prior blog: the best way to lose weight is not to gain it in the first place. So here are some tips to help you maintain and hopefully lose weight during the holidays.
Chromium: double the amount you take and take it before the two heaviest meals of the day.
Chia seeds: these provide fiber and a feeling of fullness to prevent you from eating too much.
CoQ10: A great anti-oxidant that is very important in aging. It helps generate natural energy so you can keep moving.
Acidophilus probiotics: To keep your gut working well.
Apple Cider Vinegar: some find it curbs their appetite.
Drink 1 to 2 glasses of water before you sit down to that big meal, warm water is better than cold.
Get enough sleep
Figure out what exercise you can comfortably do daily over the holidays, even if it is just a walk around the block. Knock it out early in the day.
Last but not least, 'purge the pantry' after the big dinner and gift-giving there will be a lot of weight generating food and treats in your house (aka 'left-overs'). Get rid of them quickly and efficiently before they become a temptation and you feel you need to 'finish' them off for days and weeks to come.
Best wishes for the season, have a healthy and happy new year!
