Christmas is right around the corner and with it potentially numbers ascending on the scale. But that doesn’t have to be the case. While Santa might be chubby, that doesn’t mean you have to be too. The holiday season is a time for eating, drinking, and relaxing, but too much can soon lead to excessive weight gain. That’s why the most common New Year’s resolution is weight loss.
Below are some tips you can use to help avoid weight gain this holiday season or, at the very least, keep it to a minimum.
1. Limit alcohol consumption
Alcohol is a triple threat when it comes to weight gain. For starters, alcoholic drinks contain a lot of calories. Also, alcohol can lower your willpower so that you are less able to resist the temptation of unhealthy food. Finally, alcohol can stimulate your appetite. These factors combine to make alcohol very diet-unfriendly.
