Holiday Tip

Overeating is not the result of exercise. Vigorous exercise won’t stimulate you to overeat. It’s just the opposite. Exercise at any level helps curb your appetite immediately following the workout.

Holiday Tip

At a buffet? Eating a little of everything guarantees high calories. Decide on three or four things, only one of which is high in calories. Save that for last so there’s less chance of overeating.

Holiday Tip

Always, but especially during the holidays:

Make exercise a nonnegotiable priority.

Holiday Tip

As obvious as it sounds, don’t stand near the food at parties. Make the effort, and you’ll find you eat less.

Holiday Tip

Give it away! After company leaves, give away leftover food to neighbors, doormen, or delivery people, or take it to work the next day.

Holiday Tip

Remember, EAT before you meet. Have this small meal before you go to any parties: a hardboiled Egg, Apple, and a Thirst quencher (water, seltzer, diet soda, tea).

Robin note:

Skip the diet soda ~ drink water or green tea instead

Holiday Tip

For the duration of the holidays, wear your snuggest clothes that don’t allow much room for expansion. Wearing sweats is out until January.
