Christmas Diet Mistakes! Avoid these and stay leaner!

5 dieting mistakes to avoid over the holidays:

Here at JW Training we are always looking for new ways to help you to stay in shape, after all that’s what we are all about- giving you real advice on how to really achieve a lean body- diet is always the key and Christmas is a disaster scene for any keen dieter. Over the holidays every day is a temptation to go overboard and add extra pounds, every day is a meal out with friends or a work party, and then you have to catch up with family and friends that you have not seen all year!

However we have something that is going to help you weather the storm and keep those pounds at bay whilst still enjoying the festive period! After all who wants to be anti social at such a special time, right?

Here are some great tips to keep those Santa bellies at bay:

1. Depriving Yourself

The holidays are full of fattening treats, from sugar laden cakes and Christmas puddings to butter-filled cookies and empty calories. Denying yourself these treats however often backfires and you end up going overboard and eating a whole bunch of fattening foods. Pick your treats but set limits so you can enjoy yourself as well as the holiday goodies. Remember to savor the taste and always keep an eye on calories- processed foods pack a nasty punch when it comes to calorie consumption and fat gain.

2. Cutting Carbs

With the Atkins diet craze, carbs got a bad name. Many folks still think cutting carbs is a quick weight loss trick- whilst carb free diets have their place (see our ketosis results) the key when using carbs is to choose wisely, the cold days of winter is no time to cut the bread and pasta out of your life- just always opt for wholegrain options, don’t forget carbs help in the production of serotonin, the feel-good brain chemical. Search out complex carbs and whole grains to keep your spirits high and your diet balanced.

3. Skipping Breakfast

When rushed for time and trying to cut calories, dieters often skip breakfast — but don’t. Dieters who eat breakfast are more successful at taking weight off and keeping it off, the main reason is its impact on your metabolism-its boosts your body into calorie burning from the get go and Having a belly full of warm oatmeal when you enter the office will make the holiday treats easier to pass by and keep your sugar levels balanced which reduces cravings.

4. Overestimating Calories Burned

Exercise is a great complement to dieting to make sure you end your day or week in a calorie deficit. However, it is easy to overestimate the calories you have burned. Running for 30 minutes might burn 300 calories, but there are over 300 calories in one cup of eggnog. Do keep exercising, since it will help you keep on track, but don’t assume you can eat everything at the holiday cocktail party after work.

5. Underestimating Calories Eaten

I’m not going to lie to you; going to a party and watching what you eat takes discipline, especially when there’s a buffet. Make one pass of the table and be choosy. If something doesn’t taste worth the calories, there is no need to finish it. When attending a long party, pace yourself. Imagine the next course will be even better and save plenty of room alternatively you could eat some healthy food before you leave for the party, making it tougher for you to indulge in those calorie laden foods.
