Weight Gain During Holidays Real?

“Is this going to be enough to feed 10 people?” This is a question my wife asks me at the grocery store each time we host a family event at the holidays. My response (albeit, only in my head) is, “This will be enough to feed 30 people!”

We start the parties by Thanksgiving as it is almost the start of holidays and indulge in over eating. We do not stop this until after the New Year’s day.

The stress of accommodating all friends and family as it is time consuming and brings extra burden financially can lead to extra eating. Is there a reason to overeat in holidays? The major reason is even though we enjoy our holidays it is also stressful to many people.

We tend to eat 3 or 4 time more than what we should eat at the holidays. Even how particular you are with your calorie it just goes out of door once you are fed with more than 3 course of meal.

The person who eats normally in a group is the odd man. It is the power eating in group you will tend to eat more by seeing others.

It is said to me by my relative jokingly “I don’t know if I want another helping or if I’m going to be sick.”

Is there a way to avoid the temptation of over eating during holidays? You overeat just because you want to taste all the available food. The first thing you should do is try to find out why you are overeating.

If so, don’t feel that you can’t eat all of the foods you want. Just make sure to limit your portions. If there are 10 courses, don’t cram all the food you can onto one plate or go back for seconds because you missed out, just put a couple of bites of each on your plate.

It seems bit odd but this really helps a lot. you can use a small plate and small fork while you eat. This will limit the portion you eat.

Additionally, limit the amount of food you take home with you. It’s a lot easier to not overeat when the food isn’t around. Keep in mind that yes, it’s wasteful to throw out food but is it worse than abusing your body by eating it?

You can decline the extra portions politely if the food was pushed to your plate by your loved one. If the person is very much offended then those the persons who have problem it’s not you.

Take a resolution not to over eat immediately. When you start feeling that you are over eaten then don’t wait for your new year resolution to come in. Otherwise you can take a walk after dinner and can add some extra minutes to your workout. Start exercising immediately if you do not exercise.

The alternative way is to use my weight loss breeze program to lose weight in a natural way. It easy to do with guaranteed results. You can try this now as the holiday over eating madness is nearing.
