Beat the Holiday Bulge

First Step:

Portion Control: DON’T eat nothing all day so you can eat everything at dinner. This will cause you to binge and WAY over eat. INSTEAD try eating healthy foods during the day, keep carbs low, but fill up on protein and veggies.

DON’T try and “burn” off these extra calories by doing endless cardio. INSTEAD incorporate 15 minutes of hit circuit training post workout and utilize these carbs to make some new PRs in the gym.

Example: 

Breakfast: Eggs sautéed with spinach, peppers, garlic and onions

Lunch: Chicken salad with a homemade vinaigrette

Snack: Protein Shake

Dinner: Eat protein first and whatever you have room for after you can fit in

Dessert: Your own holiday treat that is low sugar and healthy.

If you are eating out at a family or friends place try bringing your own healthy high protein dessert. Try some of these links to fill the cravings and keep you away from the traditional sugary Christmas treats.
