Our Top Tips For A Healthier You This Christmas

Ros1e — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 12:48:10 +0000

Christmas and New Year can be a time when you hear your bodies groan. Too much rich food, constant snacking and drinking all add up to those extra pounds been put on. January 1st comes round and we all take one look at ourselves and think right time to lose some weight, yet again!

It doesn’t have to be like that, you can cruise into the new year weighing just what you did before all the festivities started. It won’t mean you not eating or drinking either.

Here are our top tips to help you keep in shape over the holiday season:

1. Plan: You do meal plans week by week, so don’t stop them over Christmas and New Year. By writing down what you are eating a drinking will mean you are more likely to stick to it rather than grab any snack going.

2. Exercise: Don’t stop exercising! You don’t need to go mad, but keep some sort of exercise up, whether it is walking to the shops instead of driving or running up the stairs, keep it up. Most people put weight on over the holiday period because they stop exercising not because they have eaten too much!

3. Tell People: If you have a real weakness for something, for example chocolate. Then ask friends and family not to get that as a present. If you are not brought them then you aren’t going to be eating them. If it is you buying them you can control the amount of chocolate you have in the house.

4. Alcohol: For most of us having a drink over the holidays is part of the fun, and why not? To make sure you do not cosume thousands of calories try to stick to the lower calories drinks.

5. Enjoy Yourself: You are still able to have fun. Gorging on loads of food and snacks will only leave you feeling horrible and a lot heavier going into the New Year. By implementing these few tiny changes you will have fun and not pile on the weight.

How To Keep Yourself In Shape Over The Christmas Holidays

Ros1e — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 11:21:02 +0000

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.

Eating Activia Has Become Part Of My Normal Routine

Ros1e — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 12:50:57 +0000

All those months ago when I did the Activia 14 Day Challenge. Were you eat at least one tub of Activia yoghurt a day. I never dreamed that I would still be eating them all these months later.

The truth is Activia has become part of my daily health routine. Each morning I have a pot of Activia yoghurt with some muesli mixed in. For best result I find the cereal activia yoghurt is the best to use. Then with my lunch or evening meal I have another pot of yoghurt.

I have carried on eating activia yoghury, because for starters it is delicious and secondly it gets rid of that bloating feeling. I have tried other brands of yoghurts, but keep coming back to Acitivia as it quite simply tastes the best and does a better job.

If you do suffer from feeling bloated then you really should give Activia yoghurt a go and see the difference for yourself in just a few weeks.

Did I Put On Weight After Taking Proactol?

Ros1e — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 11:20:59 +0000

Whether you are taking a weight loss supplement such as Proactol, on another diet to try and lose weight or simply exercising like a maniac to get to your perfect look. Then one of the thoughts in your head will undoubtedly be, “I feel great now, but how long after I finish my diet will I have put the weight I lost back on?”

When I look around it is such a common sight to see. Both men and women losing loads of weight only to put it back on again. So the diet circle goes on as you inevitably end up back on some other diet to lose the weight you have put back on.

So back to me, as you know I took Proactol for a couple of months to lose a stone in weight. Which may not sound a lot, but for me a stone overweight was. A couple of weeks ago I reached my target weight, so decided to stop taking Proactol for a while. At least until Christmas anyway, as I openly admit that during that period I will require a little help to not put on weight.

How have I done?

Well its good news, but my weight has remained fairly steady. In fact over the past two weeks I have lost another 2 pounds in weight. Yes, on a couple of days I have put on the odd pound but my weight has over the two weeks balanced itself out and left me on top of the 1 stone I lost another 2 pounds lighter.

How have I kept the weight off?

Whilst taking Proactol to help me get the initial weight off. I realised that in order to keep the weight off I would have to make some changes. So I eat a bit more healthier, plan what I am eating and also do a bit of exercising now. All this has helped me to keep the weight off.

For me Proactol was a tool to lose weight and one I would use again. As I have said I know Christmas will be a time when I shall use it again. Why not? It is not harmful to me, doesn’t cost the earth to take and means I am not going to be worried about getting on the scales in the New Year!

I shall be back again soon to let you know how I am getting on at maintaining my weight.

As the temperature starts to drop and the air dry out in our homes due to central heating. Then our skin needs a bit more tender loving care. If we do not take the time to look after our skin over the next few months then acne and skin blemishes will appear.

You could of course look after your skin as normal and deal with any acne as it comes along. Is this really a wise choice, as once acne appears then it does a lot more than affect your appearance. Acne of any kind can knock your confidence and it is hard enough to be positive when it is freezing cold outside add acne on top of it and you could end up feeling really low.
