Fitness and Eating Tips for the Holiday Season (Photos)

See the photo above to get helpful tips on how to avoid gaining weight through the holiday season while maximizing your enjoyment with your food and family.

Keep in mind that you will have greater than normal weight fluctuations during this time. A fat reduction overview can help you construct a clear summarize of what you need to focus on to achieve your fat reducing objective if you're a rookie; or serve as a reminder for these who are at an advanced or more improve phase of their losing weight program. Following are seven steps that can serve as instructions for your special weight loss program. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not exactly the same thing. Many weight loss plans have tricked people into wondering that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss plans only work by producing a person's body to lose more muscle flesh and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. So, if you typically see a +/- 2-3 lb fluctuation, then expect to see a 4-6 lb fluctuation during this season.
Do not expect to eat perfectly and maintain a weight loss program during this time of year. There is no help to putting that type of pressure on yourself. Aim for maintenance.
You can eat great and be fairly "good", but just one high sodium, high fat meal or one day of drinking less water or one night consuming a few alcoholic drinks will cause you extra "bloat".
Normally, it takes a few days for your body to regulate. Expect greater highs and lows and expect a longer period to regulate during these festive times.
Above all - do not let your emotions get in the way of your brain. This loss of control may make you FEEL like the damage is worse than it actually is. Do not lose sight of the reality of how your body responds to stimulus (lack of sleep, increased stress, introduction of alcohol...). Your body strives for consistency (called Homeostasis) and when it experiences inconsistencies it does not like it and responds in a somewhat drastic weigh. (<-- pun intended :)
Be sure to set realistic expectations for yourself with your body weight and your lifestyle during the holiday season. Enjoy this time and understand that maintaining your weight (within your +/- weight fluctuations) is actually a great success.

To your success,
