How To Avoid Getting Fat During The Holidays

Be careful with beverages
Avoid sugary liquid calories like soda, and be careful with alcoholic beverages (this is doubly applicable to spiked eggnog!). Drinking alcohol can increase your appetite, and lead to overeating.
Do not abandon a healthy lifestyle during the holiday season
The best way to prevent unwanted weight gain is live a healthy life and eat clean in the first place. Don’t take the month a half between Thanksgiving and New Year’s off from working out and eating a proper diet. Make time to follow your normal exercise routine and prepare healthy meals. Extra shopping and errands does not mean you get to let yourself off the hook and grab some fast food. This might sound like added pressure, but the truth is that if you give in, the knowledge that you caved may weigh on your mind and cause you to get stressed and overeat—and the downward cycle will continue. Sound like an exaggeration? It happens to millions of people every year. Don’t be one of them.
