At
VIP medical weight loss in Boca Raton we know that for weeks, you have tracked
your food and exercised regularly to improve your health and alter the shape of
your body. More importantly, you've worked very hard to create real lifestyle
changes and to build the confidence that you can stick with it for the long
haul. So then why is the winter holiday season so intimidating? The answer is
complicated and complex. Sure, there's the food at all of the holiday parties
that you are going to attend. However, unlike other food-centric holidays such
as Valentine's Day or Halloween, the winter holiday season (and parties) lasts
for weeks. There are more parties, more potlucks, more food gifts, more cookies
and more of everything! These food temptations won't be going away any time
soon. On top of all the food, there is the stress that you have to deal with.
This stress can include buying gifts, volunteering, decorating, cooking, and
party hopping. These events often take the place of cooking healthy meals at
home or even hitting the gym. All of these events can lead to the infamous
weight gain that they encourage. So, how can you keep up with a healthy diet
and fitness program or even continue to lose weight with all of this going on
around us, day after day? We want you to know that the answer is quite simple.
You will want to stick with your plan. You must keep in mind that you have
overcome temptations and slip-ups in the past, and this is no different. Every
day you will be faced with new challenges, yet you remain strong and continue
to make daily progress toward your goals. Therefore, why should the holidays be
any different? If you want to lose weight this holiday season, you can. You
just have to choose to stay in control, one day and one meal at a time. When
you join our program, we can help you stick to your weight loss goals. We are
here to support you every step of the way.
Our boca raton weight loss program has steps on preventing weight gain.
First,
you will want to track your food. That means all of it, from the spoonful of
cookie batter that you ate while baking all the way to the free sample of ham
that you ate at the grocery store. These hidden calories are easy to forget
about but they can really add up. Plus you know from experience how tracking
your food helps you to lose weight and eat better. If you do nothing else
during the holidays, be sure to track your food diligently every day. Second,
you will want to make sure to plan your holiday meals. This is basically a
continuation of the first tip. You will want to be sure to plan your meals and
snacks in advance so you can enjoy your favorites and still be sure to stay on
track. Make sure that before you head to another party or sit down for a
holiday dinner, that you pre-track your food for the day. By doing this, you
can find places in your day that you can cut back on calories. This way, you
will be able to splurge a little more on your holiday meal. You can then easily
decide which foods you'll have (and how much) in order to stay within your
calorie range. Third, you will want to look up calories before you take a bite.
There are different websites and apps that you can use for this. This way, you can find all of your favorite
holiday foods and be able to add them to your meal plan. If you really want to
eat a cookie from a co-worker, open up your app. After you find the calories of
the cookie, you can then decide whether it fits in with your meal plan. Fourth,
you want to be sure to make fitness a priority. It is very important that you
remember that food is only one part of the equation that determines whether
you'll lose weight or gain weight this holiday season. This is why it is
important to remember that fitness is just as important as eating. Make sure
that you don't let your workouts get put on the back burner. If anything, you
should be trying to work out more this holiday season than you did before. This
way, you can curb the weight gain and extra eating that you are likely to do. Lastly,
try to schedule your workout like it is an important appointment. You wouldn't
miss work, a doctor's appointment, or an important meeting to bake cookies or
do some holiday shopping, would you? Therefore, you should add your workouts to
your calendar so that other obligations will not get in the way of your gym
time or your workouts. You can even tell your friend that you'd love to bring
some cookies to her party but that you won't be able to arrive until after
Pilates class lets out for the evening.
Our doctor supervised boca raton weight loss program wants to give you food ideas
One
great idea that you can try is to bring your own food to a party. This is a
great tip if you are heading to a party and you don't know what's in the food
or even how the food was prepared. You can pick a healthy, low-cal recipe and
bring it along with you. Then, no matter what kind of food is there, you'll
have at least one dish you can eat with confidence knowing how many calories
are included. One last idea is to be sure that you are limiting your alcohol
intake. This is because alcohol lowers inhibitions which will make you more
likely to forget about your nutrition plan and overindulge. In addition to
that, alcohol alone is pretty high in calories. If you can party hop without
drinking alcohol at all, you'll be much better off. However, if you must drink,
then you will want to nurse your glass slowly, choose diet-friendly alcoholic
drinks, and limit the number of servings that you have. To learn more about our
