As we go into this Holiday season, rich with goodies and treats. Have a plan to help combat the high levels of the good stuff. We have all worked to hard to let our Holidays kill us. We are going into the gauntlet and need to be ready. It seems that every knock at the door is more goodies. Here are some tips to make sure you can still indulge and avoid the calories that will set you back a couple of weeks.
Tips
1- Sample a small bite of the goodie. This helps avoid the feeling that you cant have something that you want. You simply go into the experience knowing how much you will eat.
2- Brush your teeth. The fuzzy feeling of sugar and plaque build up can quickly be removed by a good brushing. The feeling of clean teeth will naturally help you avoid the sugars the salts and the drinks. Having clean teeth will also promote great oral health which has multiple benefits.
3- Drink ice cold water. A great way to avoid the drinks plentiful in sugar and harmful agents is simply drink a nice full filling glass of cold water. The colder the better as it will take you more time to drink it, but will give you the refreshing feeling. This can also work as an appetite suppressant.
4- Avoid it all together. It may be considered rude to not try it or throw it away, but try the idea of re-gifting or just sample it so you can tell the person how good it was and then trash it. The feeling that most people have after they have eaten a lot of sweets is not worth it. Having it in front of your face is a continual battle that most of us would lose. So get it in the trash and don't deal with it.
5- Replace the goodies with goodies. Have fruit and nuts available. Make a dip out of yogurt and dip the fruit for less calories. Oranges and apples are great as well as almonds and blueberries.
