Journaling Your Way To Weight-Loss

Many of my diets have been unsuccessful over the years.  I’m not proud of that fact, but I do feel that many of my failed diets have taught me valuable lessons. It is extremely important to try to learn something from each diet that goes south. If you don’t learn anything, your mistakes will be repeated.

    One of the best ways to learn from your mistakes is to start writing in a journal. A journal is a personal tool, and I wouldn’t normally tell you how to use one. But I feel I must share with you some of the ways I learned to use my journal.

    For starters, write down everything that you eat, as you eat it. This may seem strange, but as I’ve mentioned before, many of us do actually forget some of the things we eat during the day, especially the small stuff. This is especially true if we are continually snacking. Do you remember how many handfuls of Sugar Frosted Flakes you munched on today? Was it two? Or was it more like nine? You must be precise in order to gain any benefit from this technique. Don’t write down that you ate “some” M&Ms. Write down that you ate “three handfuls” of M&Ms. At the end of the day, you can take out any calorie counting booklet and add up your total calories for the day. You can be the judge. How many calories did you consume? Was it a good day, or a bad day? If it was a bad day, which items made it so? Can we cut back on that tomorrow? Great!

    Don’t cheat, and don’t fudge (no pun intended). If you try to pretend that you didn’t eat all that ice cream last week, and you tell your friend that you stuck to the diet but still gained weight, then you have more problems than just being overweight. Most of my friends can tell when I’m lying anyway.

    If you can’t be honest with your friends, you have to at least be honest with yourself. If you aren’t honest with yourself, that’s called denial, and that will do nothing but continually frustrate you. When you weigh-in, you will find that the scale remembers everything you ate. A record of where you slipped up on your diet is priceless information. Don’t deny yourself that feedback.

    A second type of journal entry could be your weekly problem log. You only need to fill out this log for weeks that you didn’t lose weight. You need only summarize what you feel are the reasons you did not lose weight this past week (stress, holidays, a sale on brownies, etc.). Here is a sample log:
       
PROBLEM LOG
WEEK 3: I ate an entire chocolate bunny, or two.
WEEK 7: I thought the chocolate sauce was nonfat.
WEEK 9: Chocolate. Never mind what, just chocolate.
WEEK 11: We had no trick-or-treaters, and I ate all the fun-size Snickers because they were bothering me as they lay there.

    Trends often emerge within a problem log. In this case the trend is chocolate. The appropriate correction is to eat less chocolate, preferably no chocolate. Yes, life is unfair.


    The challenge then is finding ways to lower your intake of chocolate. The best thing I could do to help myself is to stay away from 7-Eleven stores. We all have our secret little places that we go for our “fixes.” Resist the urge to go to them and pretend you need a vegetable fix, or a fruit fix instead. Take a big bite out of that carrot and say out loud, “Yes, oh I needed this so much.” Make sure no one is within earshot first.

    Not everybody’s problem log will be filled with “chocolate” entries. Some people will drink too much alcohol (oops... multiple problems), while others will eat too much junk food. Others will drink a 12-pack of soda per day, while still others will eat as much meat in a week as some of us do in a year. The point is that by using a log in this way, you will be able to see which items or events most severely affect your weight-loss.

    A journal can also be used for keeping track of your exercise sessions. Keep track of how many hours you exercise per week and what type of exercise you perform. It is also helpful to have a weekly exercise goal in mind as you journey through your diet. This can be expressed in calories or in hours, whichever suits you best. The goal is a constant reminder to include exercise in your weight-loss plan.

    One of my favorite ways to use a journal is to regroup and reorganize after a terrible weigh-in. I tend to write down whatever I’m thinking at the moment just to get the pen rolling. Often the first few words reveal my mood, and I’m not often a happy camper. Here are some examples:

    January 6 - Okay Johnny, what happened? Wait, let me guess, you shouldn’t have eaten at McDonald’s three times this week. When will you learn to stay away from those places? Are you on my side? Or are you just going through the motions?

    January 27 - Let me just say one thing...WHAT’S WITH THE FOUR PIECES OF CAKE AT THE WEDDING? What could you possibly be thinking? Your plan was to stick with vegetables this week. Did you temporarily forget that cakes are not in the vegetable family? What can you do to keep away from that junk next week?

    February 17 — Ok, this week is shot. Seems to me that we’re having a lot of blown weeks, aren’t we Johnny? And didn’t we have this same conversation a few weeks ago? Yes, I think we did? Wait! Maybe there are some other areas of your life that we could screw up too. Why should we limit it to dieting...

    You might think I’m being a bit harsh on myself in these journal entries, but I get all of my frustrations out right then and there. I usually stop being upset with myself after a few paragraphs, and then I write some positive goals for the upcoming week.

    Keeping a journal of your thoughts and reflections concerning your diet each day is also helpful. No topic that pertains to diets is off limits. Sample topics might include: Have you been drinking eight glasses of water each day? Did you blow it big time last night at dinner? Have you had a revelation or breakthrough in your diet strategy?

    It is important to focus on what has been negatively and positively affecting your progress each week. It’s helpful to review the past week’s journal entries over the weekend or on whatever day you choose. This serves as input to your diet planning process. Throw out what doesn’t work, and welcome whatever does work for you. As you reread your journal, you may be surprised at what you have written. Was that really you who wrote that paragraph three weeks ago? Did you really eat all that in one day? Or “My God, I’m so paranoid.” You’ll be amazed at how many states of mind you find yourself in.

    Within your own journal, you can do more than write. I like to draw pictures of the restaurants that are safe to visit, and I like to draw pictures of and make lists of the foods that I can and cannot eat, separated by a big thick impenetrable line that I drew and did not dare cross. I even tried to draw an apple fritter at one time, but it didn’t look appetizing. It looked more like a poorly groomed, ugly hairpiece, but that’s not the point. I knew it was an apple fritter and I knew I couldn’t eat it. That type of stuff works for me; you must find out what will work for you.

    Remember, however, that the journal won’t do the hard work for you. The journal can help you see trends in your eating behavior, but you are going to have to reverse the bad trends on your own. So please learn these lessons well, and if you need to start your diet over, like I have done many times, start over with conviction.

How to LOSE Weight on Holiday!


I have 2 weeks left until I go on holiday and I can't wait! I work hard all year (as I'm sure you do!) to afford a good holiday and generally have a fabulous time being away from home and work.

The only downside being it is so easy to return home several pounds heavier and struggling to fit into your jeans.

Of course some people don't mind this. They know it will happen, lose a few pounds before they go and detox for a few days on their return to get back to normal.

But for those of us who are prone to gaining a fair amount when we are away, is there a solution?

Well the last 2 years I have actually LOST weight on holiday, woohoo!!!

Here are a few tips:

Take something to eat to the airport (or train station or in the car). Airports, railway stations and service stations are notoriously bad for serving processed, high fat, low nutrition foods. And let's be honest, if you are hungry, you will eat it, no matter how unappealing it looks.

A friend of mine works for a large airline and told me the average number of calories in an in-flight meal is around 1000. That is half your days calories in one meal!

So pack some raw veggies and take a pot of hummus and a wholemeal pitta, pop a few apples and bananas in your bag, fill a tortilla with roast veggies and some feta cheese, whatever quick, easy to eat food you can think of, pack it!

Exercise. Yes, most hotels will have a gym, but let's be realistic, I'm not going to use it while I'm holiday! However the swimming pool is a different matter. I'm not a great swimmer but even just splashing around, having a water fight or treading water will burn calories. Swimming in the sea is even better. Half an hour of leisurely swimming burns around 200 calories. And you can get a tan at the same time! (Wear sunscreen though please)

Walking on sand is great for toning legs and bums, and a walk along the beach won't really feel like exercise. If it isn't a beach holiday, wander round and look at all the sights, take an extra hour to walk into the next town instead of getting a cab. There is no rush, even slow walking burns calories - an hour long leisurely stroll will burn about 200 calories, much more on sand.

One of my favourite exercises is skipping and there is no reason why you can't pop a skipping rope in your suitcase. Just 15 minutes before you jump in the shower will burn calories, tone legs, bums and tums and increase your metabolism for the next few hours. Whilst you're at it do 20 press ups, 20 squats and 20 crunches. This will take less than 5 minutes but make a big difference.

Food-wise will be dependant on where you go. If you are in Europe, stick to the local diets which tend to involve loads of fresh fruit and vegetables, some fish, a little meat and a small amount of rice or pasta. Not only will you become involved in the local culture and cuisine but the Mediterranean diet is one of the healthiest in the world.

Even outside of Europe you can follow these guidelines. Make sure you fill up on fruit and vegetables. Steer away from fried food, creamy sauces and choose frozen yoghurt, sorbets or ice lollies over fatty ice cream.

Of course you want to treat yourself and eat different food on holiday, so when you can't resist that pasta with cream and cheese or burger with all the extras keep your portions small. Have soup as a starter which is filling, low in calories and fat and will prevent you eating loads during your main course.

When offered a choice of potato, choose boiled over baked, mashed or chips. Ask for some of the carbs (bread, rice, pasta, potatoes) in your meal to be replaced with extra veggies or salad and always get dressings on the side so you can control the amount you eat.

For dessert choose fresh fruit salad, melon, figs, or sorbets.

Now I like to have a drink (or 3!) while on holiday, but alcohol can really pile on the calories. While it is tempting to have the flashiest cocktail, topped with cream, chocolate and cherries (and the umbrella of course) limit these as much as you can. Choose a couple of glasses of good quality wine, spirits with soda water (vodka and soda with fresh lime is my favourite), and when having cocktails choose the fruit based drinks rather than creamy ones.

Incorporating some or all of these ideas into our holiday will certainly prevent us gaining weight while away and if we lose a couple of lbs, excellent!

But above all, have fabulous, fun holiday!

How to Eat During the Holidays


When the holidays arrive, many people forget all

about their diets and healthy eating. Weight

gains of 7 - 10 pounds are common between

Halloween and Christmas. To make the holidays

easier, these tips will help you with healthy

eating through the season and not gaining weight.

Most traditional foods can be made low fat.

Turkey is very lean without the skin, and gravy

can be made without any fat. Potatoes that are

served without butter can be very healthy. The

beloved pumpkin pie is nutritious, although it

can be made into a fatty dessert with the adding

of whipped cream.

Even though the holidays are in, don't forget

about the exercise. Keeping weight off during

the holiday season is burning off the extra

calories. You should plan a walk after meals,

park farther from stores when you shop, and

take a few walks around the mall before you

begin shopping.

During holiday parties and at family dinners,

feel free to sample foods although you shouldn't

splurge. Decide on what you plan to eat in

advance, then stick to your plan. Eat plenty

of vegetables, fruit, low fat dressings, and

slices of lean meats. Before you go to a party,

eat a small snack to help curb your appetite.

If at all possible, avoid alcohol. Having too

many drinks can cripple your will power, and

also add excess calories to your diet. In the

place of alcohol, drink water with lemon. Water

can help to limit your appetite and keep you

from binging. Also make sure to avoid eggnog,

as each glass can have up to 300 calories.

Be flexible with your healthy eating, as one bad

meal won't ruin your diet. Try to balance your

calories over a few days and don't just look at

one meal or day.

Tips on Avoiding Holiday Heft


When we were kids, the holidays were a time of pure joy and delight. And while it's still a festive and beautiful time of year, now that we're adults, we also have to worry about money (how did my shopping list become 30 people long?) and food (how can I avoid packing on some extra holiday weight?).

Between dinners with family, friends' dinner parties, and work lunches, it seems impossible to eat healthy and not offend people (especially your in-laws!). Here are some tips on how to survive the season unscathed:

- If you're going to a friend or relative's house, talk to them a week or two before the event and remind them that you're trying to lose weight. Share your weight loss story! Have you dropped a dress size? Had to buy new shirts because your neck is smaller? Let them know! If the host is cognizant of your weight loss efforts, they might not be as apt to serve you large portions.

- Help out!! If you're helping cook or serve food, refresh drinks, or clean up, there's less time to eat.

- Try taking an appetite suppressant before the meal. You can take an all-natural kind like hoodia gordonii so you won't even be tempted by your sister in-law's pumpkin pie.

- Load up your plate on salad, veggies, and lean meats (try to skip the gravy if you can). There won't be any room left on your plate for the less healthy foods.

- Ask the host for some food to go! If you say you're full, but you can't wait to eat a piece of that pumpkin pie at home, the host would be happy to send you home with a goodie bag. That way you can eat just a bite, or even bring it to work and give it to a friend or co-worker who isn't watching their figure.

It's also a good idea to start a diet pill regimen during this busy time. Even if you don't intend to take them long-term, they'll help you burn some extra fat and have some extra energy during these hectic months.








I have been studying alternative medicine, health and fitness for over 10 years. I love to write about what I have found to help others, especially in the area of weight loss. I have found herbal remedies to be effective without the debilitating side effects that medications cause. I am passionate about hoodia, especially when taken as a hoodia shot.

WLS Strategies to Avoid Holiday Eater's Remorse


Are you conflicted over enjoying the holidays by indulging in the bountiful foods set before you versus honoring your commitment to a healthier life by way of weight loss surgery? I know for me the abundance of food and Yuletide cheer seems at times overwhelming. Here are a few strategies to consider before noshing your way to eater's remorse:

- Forget the notion that holidays are for overindulging. Your WLS isn't taking a holiday vacation, neither should you.

- Assume that certain foods WILL make you sick (vomiting or dumping). Just because it hasn't made you sick before does not mean it will not make you sick today. Always assume the worst and avoid dangerous foods (sweets, high starch carbohydrates and dairy)

- Enjoy seasonal treats in moderation. Foods you can have anytime of year are not worth the holiday pouch space - indulge only in those once-a-year treats (low-fat sugar-free eggnog or mulled cider sound good right now).

- Avoid salty foods - they aren't good for you, they cause dehydration, they cause grazing and over-consumption. Why bother?

It sounds trite and we've said it all our dieting lives: "Nothing Tastes as Good As Thin Feels" - - This time, with WLS, the "thin" is for real. Give yourself the chance to enjoy your weight loss without the eater's remorse.

The Best Light Recipe

The Best Light RecipeLet?s face it. In America?s Test Kitchen our goal has always been clear: develop the best recipe possible. Only rarely have we stopped to consider the fat or calorie content of the food we make ?until now.

The Best Light Recipe is different. In response to the increasing interest from our readers to shed the same obsessive attention the right ingredients and techniques for the guaranteed foolproof recipe for lighter foods, we are pleased to offer more than 300 guaranteed foolproof full-flavored, lower fat and reduced-calorie recipes, 95% of which are completely new! Each recipe lists calories, fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, protein, fiber and sodium per serving to help you cook smart.

From chunky guacamole to brownies, from macaroni and cheese, lasagna, and spaghetti and meatballs to blueberry muffins and even chocolate cake and cheesecake, we tested and retested our favorite recipes until we arrived at the best recipes that cut calories and fat without sacrificing flavor. We also recognized that we couldn?t do the impossible- so if we weren?t satisfied with the results in our kitchen, the recipe didn?t make it into the book. Nor did we include recipes that relied on smoke and mirrors to reduce fat and calories, like beef stew with only a forkful of beef or cookies the size of quarters.

The Best Light Recipe, packed with more than 100 illustrations and 16 pages of full-color photos, also includes naturally healthy recipes tweaked to be even lighter and healthier, like gazpacho, poached salmon, stir-fry chicken, grilled tuna burgers, and pan-roasted asparagus. And the healthy techniques you?ll learn, including using milk and cornstarch instead of cream and butter to make a simple pan sauce (trust us, it really works), or reserving the good olive oil to lightly drizzle on your pasta before serving (when you use less and get the most flavor), will last over a lifetime of healthy cooking.

The Best Light Recipe also features objective equipment ratings and ingredient tastings, from the best muffin tin and Dutch oven to the best soy sauce and chicken broth, as well as illustrated tips and techniques, from slicing flank steak for stir fries, to creating the best deep-fried crust without actually frying. In short, it is your essential guide to lighter, great-tasting recipes that deliver every time.

    Avoiding Holiday Excess Baggage


    How many times have you come back from holiday weighing more than when you went away? Although you may feel refreshed, energised and ready to get back to the real world - these feelings may not be an accurate perception of reality.

    Many of us don't even notice that we have put on weight until we try to get back into our 'normal' clothes and discover that everything feels a little bit tighter!

    Abusing the 'all inclusive' packages is one of the main reasons for putting on weight. Considering the costs involved in these holidays, many people feel that they should get their 'money's worth' and simply eat 'because it's there' whether they're hungry or not!

    Eating on holiday tends to be a more laid back affair and structure goes out the window. We often spend much longer over dinner than we would at home. This can mean we overeat during the meal or overindulge in snacks such as bread and oils in between courses.

    If you want to win the battle of the bulge you've got to plan ahead. Nobody wants to spend their holiday worrying about food the whole time - especially when you have been looking forward to it for the whole year! However, there are some things you can do to make maintaining your weight that little bit easier.

    Plan your meals so that they are spread evenly throughout the day. Try not to go without food for any longer than four hours otherwise you can end up feeling ravenous and eating the first thing you see! By doing this you are giving the body regular quantities of food and allowing enough time for digestion before you eat again.

    Of course planning when you eat is not the only problem, planning what you eat is even more important!

    Avoid processed foods as they tend to lack the essential vitamins and minerals that you need and are often high in calories. If you can, fill up on fresh produce instead such as fruit, vegetables and meat or fish dishes.

    Being in the holiday spirit may mean that we may become less conscious of the types of food we are eating. From bread to pasta, ice cream and even alcohol - we end up consuming a much larger amount of carbs than we would at home.

    Finally don't forget that you can enjoy some fun exercise when you are on holiday. With no schedules to stick to, you'll have plenty more time to get active.

    Why not explore your surroundings rather than lying on the beach? Make the most of the water. Swimming, for example, is a great exercise which both tones you up and burns calories.

    Or you could try adventurous water sports such as surfing and jet-skiing - although if you're not up to the challenge there's likely pedallos for hire, a leisurely and healthy weight loss activity that's perfect for holidays.

    Watching your weight on holiday doesn't mean you need to stop having fun! By following these tips and paying more attention to what you eat - you'll find your holiday is still perfectly enjoyable without the usual stress of worrying about the post-holiday diet.

    Weight Loss Issues - Creatively Plan A Reasonable Holiday Diet


    On any plan we all come up on those dreaded HOLIDAYS!! How do we enjoy the goodies that the holiday has to offer while adhering to our weight loss goals. Read on as I give some handy advice, tips and tricks to help you stay on track and avoid holiday weight gain!!

    "Creativity can solve almost any problem. The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, overcomes everything." -- George Lois

    Why not try some creativity to solve some of your dieting dilemma this holiday season?

    I had a client who was struggling with weight loss and her particular issue was with having too many desserts. In despair, she would then abandon her whole healthy diet plan. She knew she was in trouble when she found herself eating cold french fries out of the bottom of her kid's fast food bag. She decided instead to allow herself to have a dessert every day, but not to sabotage the rest of her diet. She called it the "Eating-Healthy-Between-Desserts Diet."

    She immediately started losing weight again once she stopped sabotaging herself. When she combined it with another simple step of asking herself, "What would satisfy me?" she was able to replace dessert with fruit on many occasions - and pick up her rate of weight loss even more.

    Are you ready to devise your own diet? Or are you telling yourself that the holidays are not the time to diet? Well, no, they are not the time to embark on a whole new way of cooking, learning a new online calorie counting program or imposing severe restrictions. But it is a good idea to have strategies to help us practice some restraint during the party season.

    Try this: Set aside 20 minutes of "creative diet-devising time" at the beginning of each week. As you imaginatively make your plan, consult your calendar so you can make specific plans for specific days. Use my list of ideas below for inspiration. You can modify the strategies or combine them with your own. Keep it simple and make it reasonable. Write down your day-to-day commitments and absolutely have a happy holiday season!

    What-Mom-Said Diet: Eat 3 balanced meals plus a single treat per day.

    3-Hour/3-Container Diet: Set aside 3 hours to prepare and fill 3 large plastic storage containers with (1) low fat soup, (2) fresh cut-up vegetables and (3) fresh prepared fruit. Make a commitment to refilling the containers every time they run low.

    Pure-Common-Sense Diet: Eat 5 servings of fruit and vegetables and drink 48 ounces of water every day. Exercise 3 times per week for 30 minutes.

    It's-Not-Christmas-Today Diet: Identify all possible "focus" (non-party) days in the week and make plans to not overindulge on those days. On days when there are holiday celebrations, find specific "focus" meals. There is no need to start the day with a donut just because you are going to end it with a piece of pumpkin pie.

    Easy-Way-Out Diet: Consider splurging with fresh prepared calorie-conscious meals delivered to your door twice a week by Seattle Sutton. (www.seattlesutton.com) As an alternative, look for prepared healthy low-fat deli food and use the salad bar at the grocery store to have fresh veggies and fruits prepared and on hand.

    Out-of-Denial Diet: Simply commit to recording every morsel of food that goes into your mouth. Those who have "journaled" food consumption in the past know that this is a sure-fire way to encourage more responsible choices.

    You-Don't-Have-to-Roll-Me-Home Diet: Commit to not overindulging to the point of uncomfortable fullness. This will require eating slowly and being selective in your choices.

    Oprah-Tried-This Diet: All eating ceases at 7 p.m. This may not work on late party nights, but try it on lightly scheduled days and use it in combination with the You-Don't-Have-To-Roll-Me-Home Diet on party nights.

    No "S" Diet: This is my favorite internet diet. Have no sweets, no snacks, and no seconds; except on days starting with an "S": Saturday, Sunday, and special occasions. (www.nosdiet.com)

    One-A-Day Diet: Make one really healthy choice every day: An extra walk on your lunch hour; passing on the dinner rolls; or no butter on the popcorn.

    You get the idea. The important thing at adhering to your weight loss program through the holidays is that you not try to follow a diet - rather, you should ask yourself what you are willing to do.

    Then give it a fun name that will help you remember it. Lastly, write it down to help you reinforce your commitment.

    In Summary: You can still lose weight AND enjoy your holidays by remembering the wise words of Julia Child, "Life itself is the proper binge."

    Three Effective Holiday Diet Tips


    The holidays are upon us. Everyone wants to have fun with family and friends during the holidays. Much to our dismay, most of us end up eating too much. Here are three effective diet tips that will help keep you from gaining too much weight.

    Tip One-

    Keep your liver in top working condition. The liver is extremely important for weight loss and overall health because it is the organ responsible for metabolizing fat. Consuming the juice of a fresh lemon in a cup of hot water will help detoxify the liver. Our bodies are in a natural cleansing phase in the morning that is why it is critical to drink the hot lemon mixture first thing in the morning. Try drinking at least 64 ounces of water throughout the day to keep your system flushed. Lemons have an alkalizing effect on the body, which aids the liver to detoxify more efficiently. Our bodies are designed to routinely expel and eliminate toxins, but when we overeat the liver cannot do its critical tasks in metabolizing fat and eliminating unwanted waste. So this holiday season be sure to consume your hot lemon mixture first thing in the morning, your liver will thank you.

    Tip Two-

    Do have a lot of parties to attend this holiday season? Are you afraid you might overeat and gain a ton of weight? Do not deprive yourself from enjoying one of the most festive times of the year, eating some chia seeds before your party is a surefire way to help keep your appetite at bay.

    Chia seeds are regarded as the number one source of Omega 3 fatty acids. They are high in protein, dietary fiber, oil, and antioxidants. The beauty of chia seeds is when we eat them; they form a gelatinous substance in the stomach, slowing digestion, so you feel satisfied for hours, experiencing fewer cravings and eat up to 50 percent fewer calories during subsequent meals. There are many ways to add chia seeds into your daily routine. You can mix the seeds on cereal, salads and your yogurt. I like soaking the chia seeds in water. I add 1/3 cup of chia seeds to 2 cups of water, stirring well to prevent clumping. I refrigerate the mixture for at least 12 hours to allow the seeds to absorb the water. I eat the chia seed gel before going to a party where I know I might have the urge to overeat. Rich in satiating fibers and slimming omega- 3s, the seeds also act as a potent colon cleanser. Try to consume ½ cup to 1 cup daily, ideally when overeating might occur.

    Tip Three-

    Would you like to turn on the fat melting genes? Did you know an inexpensive kitchen staple can do just that? I always include organic apple cider vinegar as part of my daily diet. Japanese researchers concluded that vinegar's acetic acid switches on genes that are key to the manufacture of fatty acids oxidation enzymes. Consuming 2 tbs of organic apple cider vinegar daily were shown to block the body's storage of incoming dietary fat, plus break down and eliminate nearly 10 percent of existing body fat. If you have been invited to a holiday party and are worried about eating too much, try eating a healthy salad drizzled with a mixture of 1 to 2 tbs of apple cider vinegar and some good quality olive oil before going out.

    No need to avoid going out and having a good time during this holiday season. Simply incorporate the three aforementioned dietary tips as part of your holiday routine, go out have a good time and stay safe.

    Holiday Dieting Tips - How to Avoid Losing Control


    The holiday season always proves to be especially challenging for dieters if only because of the temptation that lies before them what with tables groaning under the weight of all the food that has been spread in front of them along with the continual urging by friends and family. It is a hellish time for it seems that the dieter cannot enjoy a moment's peace without a well-meaning acquaintance trying to fill their plate with more food, or just one more drink.

    Many dieters are conflicted about their sense of duty, trying to walk the fine line between obeying their diet whilst trying to appease their host. After all, given the considerable hard work that their host has went to preparing the food it would seem rather impolite to then casually dismiss the offerings before them.

    Therein lies the fatal flaw of most holiday diet tips, they fail to properly consider the remarkable influence and the power that peer pressure in this situation has and as a direct result then, many holiday diet tips end up leaving the dieter in a most precarious situation.

    First and foremost, you MUST try and be disciplined and feel confident enough to just say no. The best thing to do is to consider is to consider your calorie intake as a type of allowance or a budget and every bit of food you eat, every drink you quaff is a spending of that budget. Some will resent this approach, arguing that it is too restrictive and that it severely limits the freedom of choice for the dieter.

    In actual fact, this places the dieter firmly in control because the dieter can still eat their favourite foods...the only stipulation being that they must carefully choose the portions that they wish to have. This means that the dieter will not be able to gorge themselves indiscriminately on all of their favourite treats and so they must choose wisely and strategically. Therefore, you can elect to have a can of beer or a bowl of ice cream, but not both.

    Try holding a glass of water in your dominant hand. This serves a dual function:

    1) It means that by sipping the water, you will appease your hunger pangs as you are quenching your thirst. This is significant because many times our body confuses thirst for hunger.

    2) Because you are holding a drink in your hand, the hand you would use to pick up food, you have already broken the cycle involved in the food collection process.
