Anyone trying to lose or maintain their weight during the holidays faces it with a groan and a bit of despair. How can anyone manage that? There are some tricks and tips for being successful at managing your weight with a tray of cannolis in front of you. Here are three.<\/p>\n
The holidays are a busy time but that doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re an active time. Shopping doesn\u2019t always require a lot of physical exertion. Plan some events with family and friends that involve physical activity rather than
\nfocus on food.<\/p>\n
Some ideas include an ice-skating day, flag football in the yard, or a day of hiking. Kids will be home and
\nfamily will be visiting. That makes it a perfect time to bond over physical activities.<\/p>\n
Snacks are not your best friends during the holidays. That\u2019s because they usually consist of things like dips, sauces, and sweet treats. However, that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t have snacks. Pick and plan your snacks so you have great go-to items like carrot sticks, peanut butter with crackers, and nuts.<\/p>\n
Everyone is constantly talking about hydration but it is important during the holidays. Most people are drinking more alcohol than normal, along with sodas, eggnog, and other holiday beverages, so that makes drinking water even more important.<\/p>\n
Water can offset dehydration caused by these other beverages, fill you up so you don\u2019t eat as much and help flush out toxins from holiday eating.<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t have to let the holidays control your weight. You do have choices and making a few simple ones will prove that you can at least maintain your weight at a proper level while enjoying holiday foods and festivities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
