Simple tricks to avoid extra calories....


                            


Don't wait until new year to work off those extra calories. Avoid overeating with these simple and easy to follow guidelines. 





  • Don't Skip Meals 

Saving space in your belly for a huge Christmas dinner is a bad way to prevent over indulging. In fact, it can have the very positive effect. skipping meals, which makes us extremely hungry throughout the day, only encourages us to pack in more calories when we finally sit down for a meal. your body has become so desperate for food that you eat quicker and unknowingly take in more than you would have had you spaced out your meals throughout the day. 



  • Drink Water 

Drinking two glasses of water is an age - old technique to fill you up that works. Drinking two glasses of water prior to your meal means your stomach will start off more full, so you won't feel the need to overeat.



  • Limit Meat 

Eat no more than 75g ( 2-1/2 Oz. ) of lean meat per serving, which is about the size of a deck of cards. Then fill up on fresh legume instead. Raw veggies are healthier and contain way less calories that meat products. 



  • Put Leftovers Away Immediately 

Leaving food lying around makes it far too easy to nibble on tasty leftovers after a big meal. If everyone has eaten, take your leftovers and put them away immediately. If you want to leave something on the table for your guests to snack on, try fresh fruits or nuts.




  • Eat Healthy Dessert 

The holidays almost always mean finishing off with dessert. To satisfy your sweet tooth, opt for a fresh fruit salad instead of Grandma's homemade apple pie.
