With all the freshly baked cookies, cakes and pies that surround you during the holiday season this may not be the best time to start a rigorous weight loss program. However, there is absolutely no reason why you have to pack on the extra pounds. In order to manage your body weight during the holidays, calorie management is an absolute must.
Managing your calories is all about maintaining a balance between how many calories go in and out of your body. One of the most basic strategies for doing this is to view your daily calorie intake as a personal budget that you get to spend however you choose each day.
Now, you can go over budget during the holidays as weight management is all about choice. However, know that there will be a debt to pay next year (weight gain and more weight to lose). Accumulating 3,500 extra calories will result in your gaining a pound of fat. The average holiday dinner contains 3,000-4,000 calories so this is not hard to do.
With that said, here are 5 healthy choices you can make in order to keep your calorie budget in tact and prevent weight gain during this holiday season:
