With some effort you managed to lose a few pounds. With these tips you ensure that they stay off in the December month full of temptations.
Start your day with a good breakfast
You can go to the first brunch on an empty stomach, so you can feast on all the goodies. Nevertheless, it is wiser, especially if you watch your diet, to start the day with a good breakfast, so that you can enjoy normal portions for the rest of the day.
Don't overestimate calories burned
You exercised this morning and that's why it's best to spoil yourself with an extra dessert. Wrong! We tend to overestimate the number of calories burned. With thirty minutes of running you burn 300 calories, you eat that number again in no time…
Dare to say no
During the holidays there will be plenty of food. Dare to say no to snacks that you don't like so you can enjoy the dishes that you really do enjoy without feeling guilty.
Take it easy with alcohol
A glass of wine with dinner is delicious, but alcohol contains a lot of calories. Drinking less or no alcohol at all is therefore an easy way to reduce your calorie intake. Advantage:the next day you will not suffer from a hangover.
Don't forget to enjoy
Try to let go of your diet or strict eating habits during the holidays. Enjoy, and know your own limits.
Do you go all out during the holidays, or do you pay attention to what you eat?
