One of the leading contributors to this epidemic is the unconscious consumption of food especially during the holidays. A typical scenario: you go overboard on the turkey and cranberry sauce during Thanksgiving dinner and by dessert it spirals into a feeding frenzy that becomes a Christmas binge which turns into a 7 pound weight gain sound familiar? Every year, Americans gain ah average of 7 pounds during the month between Thanksgiving and New Years, it then takes more than twice as much time to lose the weight. However, this year will be different because the Registered Dietitians at Nutricise have put together 7 tips to avoid gaining another 7 pounds of holiday weight. 1) Indulge Mindfully. Choose low fat foods such as roast turkey and vegetables that are naturally low in fat. Holiday fare, such as ham, duck, stuffing, or potato pancakes, have alotoffatinthem. 2) Practice Moderation. To still enjoy traditional favorites that are higher in fat, consider eating smaller amounts. Practice moderation by paying attention to the amount of foods you eat. 3) Be Patient. Wait 15 to 20 minutes after a meal to request seconds or dessert. By delaying, you may find that your appetite will lessen. When theres a lot of food in front of you, its easy to get caught up in the social aspect of eating but .be aware of your hunger signals and dont eat if youre not hungry. 4) Substitute. Substitute high fat foods such as butter and sour cream with lower fat alternatives such as reduced-fa- t butter, reduced-fa- t sour cream, or plain yogurt in your Holiday recipes. 5) Dont Starve Yourself and Plan Ahead. Eat small meals throughout the day, so you do not binge atyour Holiday meal. Also, know ahead of time what you are going to eat. For example, if you know youre going to want dessert, cut back your meal portions or make sure to haVe a option ready, such as fruit. 6) Go Easy on the Alcohol. Alcohol decreases inhibitions potentially causing you to eat more - and is loaded with calories. If you must drink, opt for a wine spritzer made with equal parts wine and club soda. 7) Relax and Enjoy. Engage in conversation to help keep your eating at a healthy pace. When you talk you are less likely to eat. Remember your mom always told you not to talk with not work. Weight loss is about . changing your behavior and being responsible to yourself in the choices you make. By making a few simple modifications you can still enjoy the food and the fun without going off of your weight loss program, says Charles S. Platkin, Nutricise and author of Breaking The Pattern. Thanksgiving is a holiday about food, so its difficult to avoid overeating; however, if you plan ahead, modify your behavior and make better food choices, you can significantly reduce the amount of calories you consume at Thanksgiving dinner this year. Nutricise nutritionists work with all clients individually to educate them about food, so they can make the right choices and lose weight for good.
