We are coming into a favorite time of year for many with Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years all in the next 50 days or so. At the heart of how we celebrate is often FOOD, and lots of it. Many of our favorites are not favored by the healthy foods police, and for good reason. All this food everywhere we turn is a temptation that is hard to resist. Causing most people to pack on the pounds during this season, fueling everyone's favorite New Year's resolutuon, to lose weight.
Is there a strategy for minimizing our risk, without compromising our enjoyment? Yes, and it is one we should be employing 24/7/365. It goes something like this, we can't have it all, choose wisely and in smaller portions.
Secondly drink more water, hydration is a wonderful thing for the body and a well timed glass of H2O, approximately 30 minutes before meal time can give us that fuller feeling quicker.
Third, it's activity, we must be diligent to PLAN activity to coincide with our intake, burn those calories and promote better nutritional absorption by getting moving.
Finally incorporate a good sleep routine into your schedule. When we fail to sleep adequately our body and mind becomes fatigued and those bodily functions don't fire off as they should making the burn come slower and the pounds stack up more quickly.
It is my sincere wish that each of you enjoys the happiest of holiday seasons. With a little thought we can win these battles, and with God we can win the war.
