I have an intern presenting on Healthful Holiday Meal strategies. I like to add that I'm not all about destroying Thanksgiving dinner. Holiday celebrating is not restricted to federally observed holidays. The holidays usually span a three month period when the weather doesn’t' exactly inspire light healthful meals or physical activity. So for the next couple of months - Healthful Holiday strategies will dominate our special topics.
The Basics -
Eat Less - think of this concept. Having 1 less scoop of food at east meal can equal 30 pounds less weight in 1 year.
Be Honest - Keeping a food record be it on line or on paper is a way of self monitoring. It's a black and white strategy of identifying if this was truly a once a week splurge of if an unhealthful choice make a regular showing. Telling yourself it's a special occasion doesn't mean that you didn't indulge in a box of biscoccitos 4 days that week.
Weigh Yourself Regularly – this is defined as almost weekly. This is another self-monitoring strategy shown to keep people who are successful weight loss on track.
I am definitely working on keeping focused with my activity and limiting night time grazing. This was not the right time to discover pre-made carmel dip.
