Top 5 Diet tactics to prevent Dreaded Holiday Weight Gain
Dinners, desserts, parties, meetings, commissions … the season is full of excitement. Staying faithful to a healthy diet is a huge challenge for most, so here are some proven methods to maintain weight gain holiday remotely.
1.) Do not fast for a big meal or Holiday Feast
Fasting in preparation for a free meal will not only lead to overeating, but the worst too eat foods that are extremely high in sugar, fat, or both! Your body is a survival mechanism. If she has not had food in a while, it anticipates a shortage of food and your metabolism will start to slow. This means that the next time you eat your body will use as much of the food volume also possible to store as much energy Survival of body fat () in the hope that it will not see food again for another long period of time. (Little does your body you plan to attend another celebration banquet the next night too). So do yourself and your body a favor by eating every two to four hours that you yourself would normally prevent it from becoming a voracious, machine-fat store this holiday season!
2.) Do not indulge yourself in a coma Food
Eat until the point of satisfaction, no discomfort. Remember This: binge eating is not the usual thin people. It is imperative to understand that this holiday meal is not a ticket to eat as much as you can in as little time as possible. However, listen to your body and be sure to enjoy the foods you feel the need to eat sparingly and only when you're hungry.
3.) Eat a high-fiber, high protein meal (with water) one hour before a holiday event
A meal rich in fiber and protein before the feast at the dinner table family will help prevent overeating by making you feel fuller, which in turn will result in fewer calories than you take in empty at the feast that followed. My favorite strategy is to drink a protein shake with added fiber and healthy fats (2-4 tbsp example. Linseed) and 1 liter of water before such a meal. This will do wonders to keep me comfortable (not hungry) arriving at the party. Remember that prevention catastrophe midsection.
4.) Never Eat Junk Food breakfast or before bedtime
Eating something highly refined carbohydrate-rich meal in the morning will make your blood sugar in the blood go crazy for the rest of the day, causing more junk food cravings and uncontrollable hunger. On the other hand, a large meal before bed will bring a bunch of unused energy which will be stored as fat and you very well may have trouble sleeping with all this, the volume of extra food in your stomach! Guess where all those empty calories will they be stored? You guessed … You have to loosen the belt a little longer if you keep this bad habit.
5.) Avoid meals high in fat and carbohydrates
The most absolute thing you can do is to eat a meal that is high in both materials fats and carbohydrates. The high amount of carbohydrates will lead to a rapid increase in blood sugar levels and therefore large increases in the fat storage hormone powerful insulin. The spectacular amount of grams of fat will lead to a sharp increase in free fatty acids in the blood. Insulin is already present in large quantities (in the average person), plus the existence of a large quantity of free fatty acids now available in your blood, the stage is set for all these free fatty acids to be absorbed and stored in your fat cells. That's like being the next Goodyear blimp, It is therefore imperative to exercise caution during your holiday meals when it is the combination of fat (especially saturated and trans) and carbohydrates (especially starches and refined sugars). In general, it is preferable to choose one over the other. But since most people have great need for carbohydrate meal like this, it is essential to maintain the low fat to this meal. Want pasta? Instead of alfredo sauce, opt for marinara sauce with whole grain pasta. Want pizza? Order thin crust whole wheat crust and fat free cheese. You can even make your own to ensure the nutritional value. Want potatoes mashed? Pass on the gravy and go easy on the butter. These small changes can literally save you hundreds, even thousands of calories, and most importantly prevent your festive meal of the creation of fat storage optimal environment you back from achieving your goals of health and fitness in the coming year.
Good luck and happy holidays!
