Holidays are the season that you sure will tempt for food. With medical research carried out by
New England Journal of Medicines, discloses that every holiday season is sure going to add one
pound of extra weight to your body. But you can enjoy while escaping those landmine trap kept
on the table just in front of you, with a simple act. Be selective! That is it! Consider the
following guides when you about to share a portion to your plate.
The skin of chicken and turkey are greatly designed landmines. Contains very well saturated fat,
and carries a high caloric value compared to crabs or high protein rich food. Similar is true with
red meat. Avoid the skin or red meat.
Loaded with butter and high fat meats and processed foods like sausages come the tasty food
known as stuffing. Stuffing is so high in its food energy value and four scoops may add up about
2000 calorie to your day energy intake. And they come bundled with lots of salty things that
make more water retention in your body. Avoid them and replace with something healthier.
Packed with many healthy fats, vitamins and also most required minerals and other micronutrients, there comes another mine known as Pies. Comes in variety of tastes and flavors and
have no difference to a stuffing in food value. The ingredients used are so high in caloric value
and for a person that concerns with his or health, those come under land mine foods.
Selectively avoid them. But it is not to say you are not allowed to taste a small portion of it.

Egg, heavy cream, sugar, and alcohol are used to make the most popular holiday drink Egg-
nog. One cup containing about 350 caloric value alarms you to be cautious. Cocktails too are in
horror drink category and next time when it is been served. Just avoid those which were made
with alternatives and artificial sweeteners too.

That sounds a little odd. Of course yes. You should not avoid eating during your holidays! And
what you can do is avoid eating too much. First look at your daily schedule during a holiday
season. Your day is filled with family gatherings, parties, cocktails, dinner, beach parties, and list
goes on. Each day you may have to attend at least two or three in average, or you may be
having it at your place. Or if you are gone with a crew of friends, then that is open from day
break to day break.
Consider things you cannot avoid much during holiday season. You can say no to swimming, or
playing, or jogging, but not easy when it come to food. All once a year menus are inviting you to
taste them. They are so tasty and you crave to have one extra spoon from many dishes. Yes
that is once a year, but what is the harm.
There is no much harm, eating once a year something you love to eat, but, every extra cookie
that you eat a day simply adds to one pound every year. So if you have already gone with that
lifestyle for 25 years you have already gained 25 pounds to your body weight and that is extra!
Some have reported to gain four to five pounds a year!
But nothing much to worry, just simply follow what said before! Avoid eating too much! Just
simple as that! Never every worry about skipping any of your meals, break-fast to dinner every
main meal you must have and should enjoy with the party!

Never let yourself turn in to an eating-machine overriding your practiced way of life maintaining
a healthier, sexier and stronger you. Selectively pick the low caloric food and you can keep the
quantities within limits at each meal, so you wont get disturbed at all.
If you love to taste some of those rich foods, go ahead, and always use a smallest portion than
regular. This is one fun way for you to re-compile the formulation of your daily food intake
while being in control of your energy levels, just by you.
It is also recommended to have some high fiber food before you join the party. This is one waygood way to feel full during the party keeping the need for food at a lowest possible degree.
And be watchful that you are closer to veggies and salad rather high caloric meaty food.
Just be a little fast to run through the buffet and fill your plate soon with varieties but with
small portions, and looks so greener rather brownish! And dont hang around that area much so
you can avoid the temptation as much as possible. Be with the common phrase: Out of sight is
Out of mind.
Pacing out your time in between bites too help you to overcome eating more at holiday parties.
Once your plate is filled with smallest portions of your food, be with others who haveskyscrapers on their plates. Keep your fork down on plate and take more time to watch
surrounding or talking with your friend around rather getting glued into you food plate. You are
not in a food race!
Know your energy point! Be within that level, and you will feel safe and enjoyed the holiday,
and also the next years to come.

drinks to be sitting in front of you and inviting you to taste them. What they may cause to you
after consuming them you dont know. It is your health and fitness that you are managing
throughout the year and dont make those liquids coming in decorative presentation destroy
what you gain, maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
You can easily add 250 or more extra calories to you controlled dietary pattern, by loosening
your belt and letting a glass of eggnog goes down your throat. This will harmlessly add few
extra pounds to your body weight.
High sugary drinks are dangerous and while directly hampering your health and weight you
have to be very watchful on what you select to drink. Always it is better to settle with a fresh
juice rather anything artificial or sugary or salty.
Mixed drinks or normally called cocktails are rated danger zone drinks. Vodka tonic drink is
higher in caloric value than a glass of wine or a light beer. But comparatively champagne ismuch lower in energy content.
If you crave to be in party with your cocktail glass in hand, you can do so by exchanging tonic in
vodka with soda. While alcoholic drink stimulates your appetite, be enjoyed with it while seat in
a cool corner in the party room.

word.
Add cola drinks directly into danger zone drinks and avoid anything even that is mixed with cola
drinks. Once you let it go through your tongue the taste will prompt you for another round, not
just today but for sure tomorrow also.

sacrifice your health? Replace eggnog with Hot chocolate drink, which itself is an antioxidant
and rich with calcium.
Introduce side dishes that are roasted. Bring the natural flavors and healthiness of food by
simply tossing them in a pan with a little olive oil, salt and pepper and then baking in a
moderate oven for about half a hour. For veggies your time will come down to about 8-10
minutes. And you can ignore the use of butter, cream sauces and sugary glazes in full.
