My Top 2 Holiday Survival Recommendations

Hey Team

I know we all want to avoid the 5,7,10 lb weight gain that statistically happens during the holiday season.

Even better, my goal this year is to lose 5,7,10 lbs during the season and be on the positive end of the statistic.

How do we stay focused and on track?

As a general principal, we need to burn more calories than we consume. Its easy to consume 2000+, even 3000+ calories at a single meal, never mind the entire day.

My top 2 tips to focus on to stay on track:

#1 - Portion control – basically keep your meal to one plate. Even at a buffet or full spread party, you can enjoy, savor and indulge without overeating.

Keep serving sizes to about the palm of your hand (no fingers, and not piled high).

Think of your plate as divided into quarters – 1 quarter protein, 1 quarter starchy carbs, 2 quarters bright colored veggies (this doesn’t include sweet potatoes with butter and marshmallows). I’m also in favor of a bit more than 1 quarter protein if you desire.

#2 – Stay consistent with your exercise – Schedule your workouts like you would an appointment and be sure to keep it.

I recommend early in the day if possible. Most of us get increasingly busy in the afternoon and it’s easy to blow off your workout.

You can train with us, workout in your living room, the gym, our band program (www.fitbodybandprogram.com) or one of my quick workouts from the website. Just get in a workout.

Get an accountability buddy to help. Train with a friend who is counting on you to be there. I train with a friend and if our schedules don’t match, we are required to text “done” when we finish. We treat this as a competition for more fun and inspiration.

Check out my website for group training times and locations- we will hold you accountable and burn massive calories this season.
