Healthy Holiday Survival Tips

Many people regard the holiday season as a time for well-deserved breaks and festivities. Included in that merry-making is typically a myriad of sweets, carb-heavy comfort foods, cocktails and more than a few excuses for skipping your workout.

The holidays ALWAYS bring their unique set of challenges:

• too much food and drink
• too many parties
• too much stress
• too little time
• too little sleep
• not enough exercise
• family obligations
• a cauldron of bubbling emotions

Sound familiar? Here are a few holiday survival tips from Certified Health Coach and Vitality Goddess, Amy Magner:

Forgiveness and Self-Compassion
• People with an attitude of forgiveness & self-compassion after 1 setback are less likely to give up and keep bingeing.
• If you lose control with a dish of chocolate truffles
• Don’t think, “I’ve blown it. Might as well move on to the eggnog.”
• Just forgive yourself for the truffles.

Don’t Fast All Day, Don’t Skip Meals
• Fasting can slow the metabolism.
• Fasting all day will cause you to binge later.
• Don’t binge at dinner- you’ll regret it the next day.
• If you arrive at the party starved you will tend to overeat.
• Drinking on an empty stomach = quicker buzz =mindless munching.
• Eat normally during the day, and be strategic at the buffet.

Eat Before You Party
• Arm for Battle-Don’t go in hungry!
• Eat your fat first!
• Fat will leave you feeling full and stimulate metabolism.
• Good fat: avocados, olives, olive oil, coconut oil, pastured butter and nuts.
• Healthy fats help curb cravings keeping starchy sides and desserts total intake in check.
• Arrive at a party satisfied not starving.

Survey the Buffet, One Trip – One Plate
• Decide ahead of time which items to select.
• Poached salmon & salads may be at the end -by the time you get there, there is no room on your plate.
• Choose a salad plate (ask for one if you don’t see one).
• Make a “no-stacking” rule.
• Forget about a second trip.
• Don’t hang out by the food table – you will consume endless calories.
