One of my issues during the holiday season is overindulgence. I love sweets. And I love other foods as well. And everywhere I look during the holiday season there are good things to eat. Craaaaazy good things to eat. Add that to the fact that I am stressed about getting everything done while having holiday distractions, and it's a recipe for weight gain.
And I'm talking more than the 7 pounds the average American puts on during the holidays.
But there are ways to avoid overindulgence this holiday season. Here are some things you can do to help limit your food eating (and beverage drinking) during the holidays:
* Drink water. This helps fill you up so that you are not as hungry. And for those who like a little alcohol, it will also slow your intoxication.
* Stop eating when you feel full. This is hard for me to do because I so enjoy food — the taste, texture, the experience. So this is where portion control helps; I can eat a little of everything, without overindulging.
Do you have any tips that help you avoid overindulgence during the holidays?
