Its nice to wind down and relax at Christmas and end of year celebrations but many people get frustrated and discouraged when they jump up a few kilos. Here are a few tips to help counter Santa's abdominal influence:
1. Remember Weight is a Balancing Act - todays weight in itself is not as important as the trend over time - see the full article here for more. This highlights the importance of tracking over time.
2. Drink More Water - Your body can mistake thirst for hunger. Thirst is best quenched by water alone. All other drinks have calories which will add to your waistline rather than reduce it. 8 standard glasses spaced out over the day is the average recommendation.
3. Gently Reduce Meal Portion Size - Our bodies don't actually require large volumes of fuel (food) to function. In fact the western diet is on average 20% larger than it needs to be for our daily function. A gentle reduction in meal size will result in the same for your waist over time.
4. Get Active - Its holiday time, get out with friends, kids or just yourself and walk, swim, ski, snowboard or play a game - depending on what hemisphere you are in! It is a great time to join a low cost gym, many gyms have deals at the start of the year to attract members and don't just join - GO!
