How To Stay Slim During The Holiday Season by Melanie Mendelson

The majority of people find themselves carrying additional

fat once the holidays are over. Worst of all, most of them

never lose this extra weight. Over the years, few pounds

gained over the holidays here and there add up to 10, 20,

30 pounds of excess fat!

To avoid falling into the holiday fat trap, follow these

simple tips:

1. Don't deprive yourself. Munching on a green salad

while everyone is feasting on turkey and stuffing is just

not worth it. You will end up miserable, and chances are

you'll binge at home or on the next party. Depriving

yourself once is likely to cause you to eat everything in

sight the next day to "compensate" for your suffering.

2. Don't stuff yourself. You are not a turkey, after all! :-)

Remember, this is not the last time in your life that

you can eat.

3. Eat a small meal several hours before the party. This

will prevent you from being too hungry when faced with

abundant menu. When you are not starving, you can think

with your brain, and not with your stomach.

4. Eat slowly. It takes our body about 20 minutes to

realize that we are full. Also, the slower you eat, the

less food you'll eat as opposed to eating fast in the same

amount of time.

5. Be aware of what you are eating. It's easy to get

carried away in conversation, and eat way too much before
