Itâs holiday fat gain season, a time when nearly everyone packs on a few pounds. Rather than joining the masses and loosening your belt another notch, use these 5 Holiday Fat Loss Hacks and avoid putting on a single pound. These hacks could even result in a few pounds lost before New YearâsâŚ
đڏHoliday Fat Loss Hack #1: Eat a sensible meal before the party.
You should always arrive at parties with a full stomach. I realize that this goes against the popular trend of starving yourself before a party, and thatâs exactly why most people gain weight.
Since your stomach will be full, youâll have the clarity to pick and choose the treats that you really want, rather than stuffing yourself with everything in sight.
đڏHoliday Fat Loss Hack #2: Bring a healthy dish to share.
Donât worry if the party that youâre going to isnât a potluckâthe hostess will love you for being so thoughtful, and youâll have a healthy option to enjoy.
A roasted veggie salad, a hummus platter, or an arrangement of fresh fruit are all delicious, healthy dishes that are filled with fiber and would be a welcome addition to any holiday menu.
đڏHoliday Fat Loss Hack #3: Never drink calories.
Do you realize how quickly calories add up when youâre slurping them out of a cup? Alcoholic beverages and sweet holiday drinks are simply packed with calories. These calories donât take up much room in your stomach so youâre left wide open for even more calories.
Your best strategy is to avoid these beverages altogether, and stick with water. Aim to drink 2-3 glasses of water at the party.
đڏHoliday Fat Loss Hack #4: Fill your plate, but only once.
Iâm certainly not going to tell you that you shouldnât eat anything at the party. By all means, go and fill up your plate. But only once.
Thatâs right, you heard me. No going back for seconds. Since youâve already eaten a sensible meal before arriving, this rule is going to be easier to keep than you think.
Holiday Fat Loss Hack #5: Taste dessert, just a taste.
The holidays are all about sweet treats, so go ahead and partake. But just a taste. Look at desserts as something to savor, not something to fill up on.
And since you ate a sensible meal before you came, then you filled up your dinner plate once youâre probably going to be pretty full at this point anyway.
Thatâs itâall you need to know to not gain a single pound at holiday parties.
