Surviving The Holiday Eating Season
By Linda Tremer, Wellness Coach

You can survive the holiday season without putting on pounds. Rather than trying to lose weight over the holiday season, it might make more sense to set your goal to not gain any weight over this holiday party season. This is achievable with a little effort and planning.

The party scene is full of tempting food and drink. There are ways to have a good time without overeating. Here are a few tips to keep your weight in line over the up coming holidays.

First of all don’t drink alcohol or sodas. Ask for water. Add a twist of lemon or lime. If you must have an alcoholic drink (which is loaded with calories) have water as your first drink. Sip it and make it last. Dilute the alcoholic drink as much as possible. Do not use high calorie mixers. Stick with water, soda water and diluted fruit juice mixers. Alternate a glass of water with a glass of alcohol. That is after every alcoholic drink or soda drink a full glass of water.

At the buffet fill your plate with vegetables and salads. Don’t add calorie laden dressings. Fill you plate only half full. We tend to eat whatever is on our plate whether we want it or not. Don’t put it on your plate to begin with. Take as long as possible before the first bite. Then savor each bite. Don’t go back for seconds.

Sit or stand well away from the nibble foods. If you are seated near food, move it away from you. Make sure you have to reach for food and snacks. The harder it is to get to, the less likely you are to eat it. When snacking, choose the healthy snacks, you know what they are. Avoid salty foods which will make you want to eat more and drink more.

Take an outside break. Go outside with the smokers and away from the food temptations. Don’t take your drink with you. Look at the night sky, breath the fresh air. Invite others to go on an outside fresh air break with you.

Make the party about people and not food. Enjoy the conversation. Walk around and chat with people. Concentrate on the conversation and body language. Look at what people are wearing. Try to guess what they are feeling. Make a game of it. This will help keep your mind off the food. Talk to someone you wouldn’t normally talk to.

If you are planning on attending only a few parties, the good news is you can afford to cheat a little bit. However, if you plan on attending numerous parties you will need an action plan.

Cut back on some calories during the non party days. This will allow you a little more leeway at the party. Eat healthy meals every chance you get. Then redouble your efforts to lose weight after the holidays.

Some of you can have a small taste of that scrumptious looking desert. For others a taste will lead to more and more eating. Know yourself. Know what foods you can safely taste and what foods you must leave alone. Then of course leave those foods alone.

Try to eat a little bit at home before you leave for a party. Soup can stave off the hunger pangs and keep your appetite from overwhelming you.

Don’t forget you exercise routine over the holiday season. Plan shopping, parties and get togethers so you can make time for exercising. Keep up your exercise routine as much as possible. When shopping, take the stairs and not the escalator. If time permits increase your exercise over the holiday season. Increasing your exercise routine even slightly during the holiday period will allow you to eat some of that fabulous holiday food without feeling guilty.

Over the holiday period, you might have to be satisfied with the status quo. That is not losing weight but more importantly not gaining any.

Be aware that it is possible to keep from gaining weight during the holiday season. Staying at the same weight over the stressful holiday season is possible. Always remember that it’s much easier to keep the weight off than it is to lose it later. Be selective in your food and drink choices. Don’t skip your exercise, increase it if you can. And the holiday season will not result in a weight gain for you. You can enjoy the holiday parties, fabulous food and drink and still control your weight.

Happy Holidays!

Special This Month's Healthy Living Article

Eliminating Menopausal Weight Gain By Linda Tremer, Wellness coach

About 70 percent of women gain weight throughout their menopausal years.  I gained weight and found it very hard to lose. Our metabolisms slow down and the weight creeps up and surprises us.  

Research has shown that this menopausal weight gain may be due to a lack of progesterone.  During these menopausal years, progesterone declines more than estrogen. This then makes estrogen the dominant hormone.  And estrogen causes weight gain.  That’s why they give it to cattle in the feed lots to fatten them up. And fatten them up it does. 

We burn calories during the menstrual cycle.  The elimination of this cycle without a decrease in calorie intake also contributes to weight gain. 

A significant number of menopausal and pre menopausal women are bothered by fatigue.  Fatigue prevents women from performing everyday activities and exercising. This is another contribution to unwanted weight gain. 

To eliminate fatigue you must eat a healthy diet.  Blood sugar imbalances are one cause of fatigue. Eliminate sugar and processed foods from your diet.  Stress is another cause of fatigue. As you probably know exercise will reduce your stress.  Although during menopause it becomes harder to exercise because you are too tired to exercise and exercise is what you need to help beat the fatigue.  So you must make every effort to exercise even when you are tired. 

Supplementing with the B-complex vitamins may also help your fatigue. Ginseng may help fatigue. 

Try using a natural progesterone cream.  Rub it on your skin daily. This may help the estrogen progesterone balance. Progesterone also helps to turn fat into energy and has a thermogenic effect on the body. 

Menopausal women gain weight around their midsection. Studies have shown that this is the worst place to gain weight. And spot reducing does not work. Exercise works best to get rid of fat in this area. Studies have shown conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) helps to trim the waistline. And it helps to build lean muscle mass.

If you decide to go with hormone replacement go for natural instead of synthetic.  Natural is much safer and doesn’t have the side effects of synthetic hormones. 

A woman’s energy requirements are about fifteen percent less during and after menopause than they were in her twenties.  Studies have shown that woman gain 2 to 3 pounds per year during menopause and perimenopause.  Just think about it, this weight gain can be about 30 pounds over those ten years. We don’t notice a few pounds a year but after a few years we’re shocked by them. 

Defeat those extra calories by exercising more.  Physical activity will help with all menopausal symptoms.  Better still eliminate those extra calories by reducing you caloric intake. Eating a balanced diet will help you get through most menopausal problems. 

It’s much easier to keep the weight off than to lose it once you’ve gained it. If you are pre menopausal, now is the time to increase your exercise and decrease your calories. Starting a healthy weight loss program before or during menopause is necessary. If you don’t, before you know it those extra five, ten or even fifteen pounds will creep up on you.  And that additional weight will be difficult to lose.
