Herbalife (NYSE:HLF), a global nutrition company, is reminding
everyone across the country that winter office parties and family
gatherings don’t have to turn into extra pounds this holiday
season.
According to Samantha Clayton, Herbalife’s director of worldwide
fitness and education, it’s all about minimizing impact. “No matter
where you are on your personal wellness journey, think twice before
over-indulging during the next few weeks. My advice is to, at the
very least, try to break even and maintain your current body weight
this holiday season. It’s amazing how easily you can gain a lot of
weight in such a short amount of time, and although weight gain is
as easy as consuming a few too many pieces of pie, taking off those
pounds come January is a much harder task.”
To keep those calories from creeping on this holiday season,
Herbalife is sharing these top 10 tips:
1. No savings: Don’t cut down or starve all day to enjoy
the party at night. Skipping your breakfast and lunch is not a good
way to avoid weight gain. There are many reasons why this is not a
good tactic; a drop in blood sugar, lack of energy and lack of
concentration are just a few of the down falls of the “starve and
binge” technique. Chances are, if you wait all day to enjoy the
party foods, you will consume twice the amount because you will be
so hungry.
2. Snacks: Have a healthy protein rich snack before you
head out to a holiday party. Filling yourself up on healthy snacks
that contain protein will keep you full and stop you from having
that extra cup cake.
3. Move around: Use holiday parties as an opportunity to
socialize with your friends. Keep walking around and don’t park
next to the chips and dips. Walking counts as exercise so the more
you move the better.
4. Dance: Let loose and dance off the party calories; the
extra bonus is that the more time you spend dancing the less time
you will spend eating.
5. Routine: Don’t skip your workouts. The best thing you
can do is keep your exercise routine intact. We all know holiday
diets can go awry, but if you can at least keep your workouts going
it will help.
6. Watch your drinks: Try to avoid drinking too many
sweet drinks. It’s amazing how many calories can be hiding in a
simple holiday punch (or eggnog). Staying hydrated with water
helps.
7. Maximize your time with quick fix workouts: If time is
tight try to do a quick 10-minute routine in the morning and
another 10 minutes before you go to bed. Simple exercises performed
in an interval style will help burn some calories and keep you
toned over the holidays.
8. Step away from the computer: Sitting in front of your
computer screen looking for that bargain may cost you in the long
run. Stay active this holiday season by walking around the shops
and carrying bags or boxes doubles up as a workout.
9. Make every minute count: Think active all holiday
season. Take the stairs. Park in the furthest spot from the store.
Get outside and go for a walk. The more active you are the fewer
pounds you will gain.
10. Get started today: Don’t wait until January 1st to
start your exercise plan, start today. The sooner you get your body
into a positive active and healthy routine the better chance you
have of reaching your personal health goals.
