1. Fill Your Plate With Fibrous Foods
Foods that are high in fiber or water fill you up quickly and help keep you from overindulging on empty calories that will make you eat more in the long run. For example eat an extra scoop of vegetables and fruit when filling your plate, and by the time you finish, you will not have the space in your tummy for the other foods which are higher in calories and more likely to cause you to gain weight.
2. Control Your Portion Size
No doubt, everything at the table looks incredibly delicious, and it’s can become very tempting to keep from filling your plate 2-3 times so that you can sample everything. An easy way to combat this urge is to simply reduce the portion size you normally would take of your favorite dishes you’re most intrigued by, especially belt-bursting desserts. Share a piece of Chocolate mouse or cheesecake with your significant other, friend, or any other relative who may be watching his or her weight during the holidays.

3. Drink Plenty of Water During & Between Meals
It is extremely important to consume water before each meal, as well as during and between them. The liquid in your stomach will help trick your mind into not feeling as hungry, which help control the temptation to over eat fattening foods.

4. Stay Away From The Snacks Table
Think about this for a second. If you take a seat within an arm’s length of the snack table, you’re going to put your self in a bad situation of socially grabbing handfuls of party mix, candies, and the like and grabbing those yummy snacks throughout the day. By placing yourself into a activity such as a card game or charades, getting to the snacks involves a conscious effort into getting up and walking over to get at the snacks.
5. It’s Okay To Take An Exercise Break
If the weather allows for it, go out and take a quick walk around the house or block. If your Holiday celebrations is taking place in a colder climate, you will be more eager to quicken your pace and shed off a few extra calories in the process. If the weather will not allow for this activity, do 10-20 squats, stretches, simply turn on the tunes and get everyone dancing to some fast paced music, it will be fun!. You just want to do enough to raise your heart rate, but not break out into a sweat. Chances are, no one will know what you’re doing, and you won’t have to feel self-conscious about trying to maintain yourweight loss.
