However, not all traditions are as popular as gift giving or Christmas vacations. One such tradition that many would like to avoid is packing on a few extra pounds during the holiday season. While thats certain- ly the healthiest decision to make, its also the most dif- fi cult, particulary for those who fi nd themselves spend- ing ample time attending the host of holiday-themed social gatherings throughout the season. For those who fi nd themselves looking to shed a few extra pounds each January, the following plan should help accomplish that fi rst goal of the New Year. * Practice portion control. Oftentimes, many people dont have a problem with what their eating, but how much theyre eating. Resolving to avoid certain items is likely going to increase desire for those items, which is a recipe for overindulgence should you eventually cave in. When it comes to holiday foods, simply manage your portions and eat every meal in moderation. * Dont save up your calories. Though it might seem like it doesnt matter when you get your 2,000 calories a day, it actually does. For example, you cant forgo breakfast and lunch with the idea of cashing in on your daily calorie in- take at dinner. You will end up overeating under such a circumstance, and its also unhealthy to skip meals. * Consider that you might just be thirsty. The symp- toms of dehydration can be quite similar to those of hunger, as the stomach will make noise when youre dehydrated just as when youre hungry. If you fi nd your stomach growling shortly after eating a meal, theres a strong chance you need a glass or two of water. Dehydration can also make you feel fatigued, so keep up your energy by staying hydrated throughout the day. Another tip is to drink water while cooking. This will help you avoid overeating when the dinner youve been cooking is fi nally served. Cooks also commonly eat while theyre cooking, but having a glass or two of water could be a good replacement for such unnecessary snacking. * Dont overeat because everyone else is. Nearly ev- ery adult recalls doing something foolish as a child just because friends were doing it as well. And Mom or Dad likely said something like, If Timmy jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge, would you do that, too? The same prin- ciples can be applied to weight loss as well. Just because others are still indulging after the holiday season, be it with leftovers or just everyday meals, doesnt mean you can also afford to do so. It can be hard to stop overeating after spending the holiday season doing just that, but in Tips to Shed Those Holiday Pounds
