Tip # 3
How to cope with christmas parties and their endless sweets!
We all know how hard it is around this time of year to not eat cookies and drink calories, but try a few of these to help yourself out!
-Eat healthy and calorie dense foods before going to a party. What this does is allows you to eat less garbage foods, and dampens their affects! Additionally, try starting on the healthy snacks first!
-If you have the will power, take some home, and eat less there. If you indulge less or save it for your cheat day it will help a lot! ( this doesn't mean have cake everyday instead of cake on one day)
-Don't drink calories, aim for straight liquor drinks, or low carb beers like Michelob Ultra (only 2.6 grams of carbs) and avoid sugary drinks. Remember diet pops are healthy for you if you keep them to 12oz and under. Have one diet pop and follow the above after that! It will help fight the cravings.
-Eat slowly, and be social. Being social helps keep your mind busy and away from the snacks. Be social, it is what the holidays are all about.
-Bring the healthy alternatives and snack on your own!
-Take a picture of every bad thing you eat, and review it periodically before snacking again. If you take a picture of every bad thing you eat, you are way less likely to eat more. Most people's issues are their serving sizes. You will be surprised by how much garbage you may eat.
-Make it your cheat day and go all out. This can lead to a bell ache, but it helps fight the cravings for the next few days!
Hope those help get you through those parties guys, and remember, it is the holidays and making mistakes from time to time isn't the end of the world! Just work hard to try your best, even I eat garbage occasionally this time of year!
