Tips To Avoid Overeating During The Holiday Season by Robert William Locke..
The obesity epidemic is getting worse so what are you do to stave off this national disease? Now that the holiday season is upon us, temptation is lurking everywhere! Here are some tips to help you resist overeating.
Firrst of all, when shopping for food, you should try to avoid your local 7-11 convenience store as the range of healthy foods there is not great. Much better at your grocery store and the supermarket. A new study just out tells us that we should be aiming at NINE portions of fruit and vegetables a day instead of the old FIVE. Poorer Americans will rightly ignore this piece of advice as it would mean that they would have to spend more than 70% of their total food budget just to buy all the fruit and vegetables!
When you are invited to dinner or to a reception with a buffet, start before you go out. No, I do not mean eating ,well, apart from a handful of nuts! These have lots of fibre and that will help to make you feel full and less ravenous. A great idea is to drink a glass or even two of water -water has zero calories and helps to make you feel full.
Smiling happy faces surround you at the dinner table and there is no shortage of food amd wine ! What I try to do is alternate a glass of wine with a glass of water and so on until I feel abolutely full. The water is also going to help me keep hydrated. In this way I can cut down drastically on my wine consumption. I also try to avoid getting my glass filled to the top.
Buffet grazing is great fun and disastrous for your waistline. I try to take small helpings and leave the table and find a seat as far away as I can. I try to engage somebody in conversation and this helps me give less attention to my food . Once I am so far away, this is going to discourage me from getting too many second helpings.
I always go Very Easy on stuffing and gravy - just a little sample to remind me what they taste like. Also try to fill up on cranberry sauce - cranberries are great antioxidants. I will also try to fill up on green vegetables - hoping that some health conscious person has thought about us diet obsessed humanoids! Sipping my wine and eating slowly is another great way to reduce my raging hunger pangs.
When it comes to sweets and desserts, temptation is even stronger as the pies are scrumptious. Well, pecan pie with whipped full fat cream will fill me up with 700 calories ! A healthy alternative is pumpkin pie and forget the cream. Forget the doggy bags - it is just prolonging the temptation.
The average American is about to put on FIVE more pounds over the holiday season from now until New Years. Try and follow my advice and don't be one of them !
