Question, have you done your google search for foods to ‘avoid’ and foods ‘recommended’ during the holiday season???
Did that list help you feel “Festive” or “Frustrated”?
Doesn’t it sound much better to:
- Enjoy without overindulging?
- Eat anything you want in moderation?
- Give yourself permission to enjoy some holiday favorites?
“Knowing is Half the Battle!”
Holiday Mistake #4
Eating holiday left overs for weeks!
The truth is:
- Thanksgiving is ‘one’ day…
- Christmas is ‘one’ day…
- New Year’s is ‘one’ day…
Why are we eating more in the last 3 months of the year than the first 9 months? Thought-provoking question…
Select your holiday events wisely. Even decide which one’s are worth eating more and which are not. This alone will save a bunch of calories. The goal is to come out of the holiday season the same weight you went into the holiday season. Trust me, weight maintenance gives plenty of room for enjoyment.
‘Tis the season to be jolly…
and pack on pounds indulging in rich, fattening fare. The last 3 months of the year can be quite tempting:
- Halloween – all that candy
- Thanksgiving – dressing, mac-n-cheese, casseroles, homemade desserts
- Holiday parties – alcohol
- Christmas – eggnog, dressing, casseroles, mac-n-cheese, homemade desserts
- New Year’s Parties – more alcohol
- New Year’s – alcohol and late night breakfast
- Oh yeah, Super Bowl Parties – alcohol, wings, chips, dip
Ditch the Forbidden Foods List
Like many, you have done your google search for foods to ‘avoid‘ and foods ‘recommended‘ during the holiday season.
Doesn’t it sound much better to:
- Enjoy without over indulging?
- Eat anything you want in moderation?
- Give yourself permission to enjoy some holiday favorites?
What usually happens is we go into the holidays with the best intentions, then as soon as you lay eyes on something you have not eaten since the holidays in , the “over indulge” mode kicks into high gear! 3 months later, you’re setting weight loss New Year’s Resolutions…
What to do Instead…
If you going to partake in leftovers for many days, cut the portions downs from what you ate on the HOLIDAY (Thanksgiving Day and/or Christmas Day).
We all tend to overeat it simply because we are human!
Hence how we gain weight and looking to hit the reset button in January!
Weight Loss & Health Accelerator Session!
If you’ve been tweaking your intermittent fasting window, trying every new version of Keto, or thinking you need to shop exclusively at Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods to eat healthy… it’s time for a change!
Especially, if you’ve been trying for 3 months or longer without results.
How seriously have you taken your own well-being?
We often tend to be better at taking care of others than taking care of ourselves. There’s no shame in needing help to put ourselves back on the priority list.
That’s why I’m doing something super special.
How would you like my PERSONAL mentoring to catapult YOUR health results?
You see, I’m gifting 10 people in my community with a comprehensive “Health Accelerator Session” with my fee entirely waived.
In your private 1:1 session with me, we’ll focus entirely on you. In particular:
- We’ll create a crystal clear vision of a nutrition & weight loss path for you
- We’ll uncover the hidden obstacles and unconscious patterns that have been sabotaging your success with losing weight & keeping it off
- You’ll leave the session not only inspired, but with personalized and tangible next steps to catapult your health now!
Lastly, these sessions will be taking place the last two weeks of October- then they’re gone.
