Strategies for Staying Healthy When the Goodies Are Everywhere

D:\zPinki yadav\activecollab_blogs\metroweightloss.comThanksgiving is over, but the feasting has really just begun. Grandma is baking her world-famous cookies, there’s fruitcake, pies and lots of other tasty treats everywhere. You’ve worked really hard to get your weight down and to build a healthy lifestyle. You don’t want to waste all that effort by chowing down at the holidays. Here are some things you can do to stay on the right track.

Stay Active

There’s a greater tendency to eat unwisely when you’re just sitting around. Of course, the holidays a time to catch up with family, but why not do that while you walk around the neighborhood, looking at the Christmas decorations?

Make It About Portion Control

Abstinence is rarely a good strategy. Allow yourself a taste of all the good things, but pay attention to how much you eat or drink. You can have just one cookie…and you’ll feel good about it.

Have Some Healthy Snacks Available

When the plates of cookies and candies come out, bring out other snacks as well, ones that offer a healthier alternative.

Slow Down

A lot of unhealthy food habits stem from haste. Don’t let the stress and busy-ness of the holiday put you into hyperdrive, where you eat before you think. Take your time while eating, too…savor every bite and you’ll find that you eat less.

Get Lots of Rest

Studies also show that fatigue can contribute to unhealthy eating. When you’re tired, you tend to be hungrier and less active. Don’t be the last one to leave the party. Get plenty of sleep this holiday season and you’ll stay healthier.

Don’t Let the Holidays Stress You Out

Stress and anxiety are also significant causes of poor or unhealthy eating. The holidays should be a time to relax and be with loved ones. The less stress you put yourself through, the healthier you’ll eat.

Stay Away from Processed Foods

Make everything from scratch and you’ll eat a whole lot healthier. Common processed foods to avoid—boxed mashed potatoes or stuffing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How does Metro Weight Loss differ from other weight loss programs?

Most weight loss programs use techniques that try to permanently accelerate your metabolism. At Metro Weight Loss, we work to reset your metabolism, so that your cells "hear" the hormones your body naturally creates, and your body does the work of regulating caloric intake and burning fuel. We also focus on the reduction of inflammation in your body, a common threat to the effective operation of your metabolism.

In addition, we don't rely on proprietary protein bars, shakes and other foods that you must buy, which can quickly become very expensive. Instead, you get to eat real food purchased from the grocery store, as well as some restaurant selections.

Does the Metro Weight Loss program include an exercise routine?

You can include a regulated exercise regimen as part of your personal program, but there is no requirement that you engage in any physical exercise to lose weight.

How much does the Metro Weight Loss program cost?

Because everyone has unique circumstances and goals, the cost of the program will vary, based on your health, your needs and your objectives. We do offer a free consultation to help you understand the ways we can help you get started on the path to lasting weight loss like never before.
