4 Tips To Stick to a Healthy Holiday Diet

Sticking to your customised meal plan can be one of the hardest challenges during the festive season, but it’s not impossible! With the help of an experienced nutrition coach, sticking to your fitness routine and healthy diet doesn’t have to be hard.

Want to enjoy the holidays without disrupting your weight loss journey? Here are 4 simple tips you should follow:

1. Get A Good Night’s Rest

For anyone who is looking to shed some pounds, or get fitter, getting enough sleep is crucial to making healthy eating choices. This is because a lack of sleep tends to:

  • Deprive you of energy, making you more likely to binge on higher-fat, higher-calorie food.
  • Increase your appetite.
  • Create inflammation
  • Reduce your insulin sensitivity, meaning that any carbs you eat will be stored as fat.

Remember: By getting at least 7 hours of sleep the night before a holiday party, you will be well rested and able to make healthier eating and drinking choices.

 

Start With the Veggies

Holiday parties often have the most tempting buffets, but it’s important to choose your first picks wisely. Given that most people will consume the largest quantity of anything they eat first, set yourself up for success by starting with something healthy and low-calorie such as veggies and dip.

 

Stick to Smaller Portions

Even if you are completely committed to your weight loss and fitness goals, it’s very easy to get carried away and lose track when you are faced with all the delicious holiday spreads. But don’t worry! One of the most effective tips of keeping your eating under control is by thinking small.

This includes:

  • Eating smaller meals throughout the day
  • Downsizing your plate
  • Taking smaller bites
  • Chewing and eating slower

By making this simple and easy choice, you’ll find it easier to keep your portions under control, which is one of the most important aspects of weight loss.

 

Stay Active

Did you eat a little too much at the office Christmas party? Keep the inevitable indulgences in check by staying active this holiday season. Why not enjoy some winter sports for a chance of place, or schedule a quick personal training session before you head out to the next party.
