How To Keep Yourself In Shape Over The Christmas Holidays

Did you know that the average person can gain between 5 to 8 pounds over the festive period. Most of us put the fact we have put on weight to overindulging. Too much food and drink seems to us to be the obvious answer. Of course excessive eating and drinking will not help you maintain you weight, but the real reason we put on so much over this time is because of the lack of physical activity and exercise.

Why do we stop exercising over this festive period? Many of us will say we just don’t have the time. Others will be having too much fun going to parties to give exercise a second thought, for others it is simply they cannot be bothered and want the time off.

However, you are able to make time to exercise over the holiday season and still have a great time, with the added bonus of not having to go on another New Year Diet!

Here are some top tips that will help you beat the bulge and stay in shape this festive season.

1. If you having a meal out plan what you are eating if you can. If you are out for drinks then eat before you go out, your are less likely to overindulge when you are out.

2. Having the occasional treats will not hurt. If you put them into your meal plan then you will be able to manage them much better.

3. Don’t be fooled into thinking that if you skip a meal that you are able to have more treats. This won’t work it will only end up being counterproductive.

4. It’s the holidays so you are more likely to want to drink. Be careful though alcohol means calories and in the case of some drinks lots. Try to avoid mixed and fruity drinks and especially Egg Nog as this comes in at 350 calories per serving!

5. Don’t forget to exercise. This doesn’t have to mean going to the gym. Walk to places rather than drive. Running up stairs instead of plodding.

6. Make your exercise routine and goals realistic. 30 minutes a day will keep you going over the holidays rather than the normal hour. Don’t be put off by the weather. Investing in the Wii and Wii Fit may be the wisest choice you ever make, because it is an easy and fun way to exercise for all the family.

9. Being on a diet over the holidays is not a good idea. Eating foods you like in smaller portions will do you no harm. Keeping your meal planner going and up to date will also help.

10. Make sure you drink plenty of water. Not only will this combat the dehydrating affects of alcoholic beverages, but it will also help to curb your appetite. Did you know thirst is often mistaken for hunger.

11. Finally, don’t be tempted to eat a three course meal all at once try spreading them out a bit. After a rich main meal go for a walk, this could be on your own or with your family. Work up an appetite for that desert.

Want To Become A Weight Loss Winner This Christmas? Here is How:

I am conscious that with Christmas not that far away that we should give a bit of thought to keeping in shape this festive season. Not leave it so late that there is no point or end up on that inevitable new years resolution to lose a few pounds and get in shape after Christmas.

For those of you who have already visited Dietreviewzone you will know that I embarked on my own weight loss journey taking the weight loss supplement Proactol. My Proactol Diary gives you an insight as to what it can be like when taking a weight loss supplement in order to lose weight.

For me I have already started my weight loss journey. Over the next few months I will be focusing on how to keep in shape and not put the weight back on. With Christmas in the front of my mind as an important and usually heavy eating time that I want to enjoy and not feel like I am the size of an elephant at the end of it.

So whether you are looking to lose weight or not put on weight this Christmas what are your options?

1. Not eat or drink or eat very much. I personally do not have the willpower for that and besides I want to enjoy myself!

2. Eat healthy over Christmas - I’m all for being a bit careful but no need to go too far is there? Another option maybe?

3. You could take a weight loss supplement or appetite suppressant. Helping you to get rid of any unwanted fats or suppressing your hunger cravings so you do not overindulge.

If you think that number 3 is an option you would like to try then read our reviews of the following weight loss supplements

Feel Great After Summer, Lose Weight And Not Get Winter Blues

You’ve has a good summer, indulged yourself. If you are anything like me have not really watched what you have been eating or drinking. So then comes the rude awakening. Putting on clothes that fitted perfectly before the summer break and now are a bit too snug. Right kick myself up the backside and start on a mission to get back into shape.

As we have explored already at Dietreviewzone there are many ways to get back into shape. For instance joining a gym, however for some of us the gym is not the answer. Reasons for this are motivation and time to actually go to the gym and also if the weather is bad, just simply cannot be bothered. You could always, if you have the space set yourself up a home gym for example in your garage. This is a great way to fit exercise into your daily routine without the need to travel to and from a gym.

A great way to get fit which includes the whole family is to buy a Wii or Wii Fit. Both of these are absolutely great to keep you and your family in shape.

Finally of course we have the exercise DVD’s. There are many many DVD’s available to buy today. Whatever your favourite type of exercise you are surely to find an exercise DVD that you enjoy and also tone up and lose weight with. You are able to read our reviews on some of the exercise DVD’s available here.
