Tips for A Healthy Holiday

 

Health Challenges Over the Holidays

The holidays can present many challenges but the three big ones I’d like to focus on are:

  • Stress
  • Fatigue
  • Weight Gain

Here are some tips to help you deal with all three and maintain your good health throughout the holiday season.

DON’T SKIP MEALS

Skipping meals robs your body of the nutrition it needs to effectively deal with stress. Additionally, with all the extra running around you have to do at this time of year your body needs fuel!

If you’re worried about consuming too many calories don’t skip meals, instead make sure your meals are nutritious with lots of veggies, healthy fats, complex carbs and lean protein.

REMOVE TEMPTATIONS

Remove Temptations at Home and at the Office. This is an out of sight out of mind strategy. Make it easier on yourself by removing the temptations. If you bake give most of it away, leave only a little at home for the family. ‘Tis the season for giving after all!

MOVE AND STAY ACTIVE

Exercise is great for helping you deal with stress, buring calories and staying energized. If you already exercise stick with it over the holidays. If not, find creative ways to get some movement in each day. Take a walk and check out Christmas lights, take the kids sliding, build a snowman or dance around the house.

DRINK WATER

Water helps energize your cells (which helps fight fatigue). Drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces per day to be sure you’re sufficiently hydrated. Water also helps you feel full so you won’t eat as much.

Holiday Parties

Here are a few helpful tips for eating healthy at your next holiday party.

  • Never go to a party hungry! Whenever possible PreGame and eat healthy before you get there! Fill up on Veggies!
  • Stay away from the Snack Table (when you’re too close you may snack more than you want too).
  • Eat Slowly (start with Veggies)

Drink and Be Wary

A glass of eggnog can set you back 500 calories; wine, beer, and mixed drinks range from 150 to 225 calories. If you drink alcohol, have a glass of water in between drinks. You’ll drink less and you’ll water down the effects of the alcohol which is another good thing!

These tips can help you get to December 31st with some found memories, good times and no guilt.

After The Holidays

January is the time to finally reach your health goals. While everyone else is making resolutions they won’t stick with join me for the 2020 New You 30 Day Challenge.

WHY DO RESOLUTIONS RARELY WORK?

1) – No Plan
2) – No Support
3) – Not sustainable long term

The New You 30 Day Challenge is different because:

1) You Have a Plan! It’s a proven plan that was developed by top nutritionists, doctors and dietitians. It’s all laid out (you even get shopping lists…how easy is that?)
2) You Have Support! There’s fantastic support with well over 500 other people doing the challenge along with you, plus you have coaches available 24 / 7 and me as your personal coach to hold you accountable and cheer you on.
3) It’s Sustainable Long Term! The best part is the education you get while you take the challenge. You learn what to eat, what to avoid and what to “eat instead” making this a lifestyle you can easily adapt to long term.

Click here If you’re interested in joining me for the next 30 day challenge! I’ll rush you all the information!

4 Simple Things That Lead to Good Health

  It All Adds Up I recently went to the doctor’s for my annual check-up and I got a clean bill of health! While checking out I noticed a sign with four simple things anyone can do to stay healthy at any age. It occurred to me that I do all of those things so I thought I’d share them with you here in this live video. Four Things! 1 – Move Even moderate exercise on a consistent basis can have a big impact on your health. Look for fun things to do on the weekend that keep you moving and active. I like bike riding, skiing, running, and disc golf! 2 – Get enough sleep Have a solid bed time to help ensure you get enough rest for your body to repair and refresh. Most sleep professionals say 7-8 hours is good for adults . 3- Eat real food Avoid eating processed foods and foods with ingredients you can’t pronounce. Generally, these don’t contain the nutrients your body needs for optimal health. 4 – uh….oh no I forgot # 4! Ok so you’ll notice I forgot # 4 (thank goodness my doc wasn’t testin...
