Dieters Beware!!

It’s the beginning of the new season.

Not the fall season, but “Fat” season. It actually starts at Halloween, not Thanksgiving or the December holidays.

----Most of us have done it, talked about it, even joked about it…the 5 or more holiday pounds we start putting on about now.

I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of gaining weight this time of year and trying to lose it after January with a meaningless resolution.

Well, actually I do know about you, and I know you don’t like it either!!

Ok, so let’s work together this year and do something different…Let’s NOT put on the holiday pounds!

My goal is to be asked the questions (and I’m expecting to hear back from you that you were asked)…..”Hey, are you losing weight?” “How did you do that with the all the junk food and holiday parties?”

Being successful in keeping off the extra fat pounds will take some planning and effort.

This is the first of a couple of “Slim” holiday newsletters with tips to help you make a positive change for yourself and your families by staying healthy and avoiding the holiday fat.

Here are a few tips to keep the pounds off and still enjoy a Halloween treat.

1) One of the biggest things is to delay buying any candy until closer to Halloween!!!!! If it’s in your house, it presents an unnecessary temptation. How often do you eat something just because its there?

2) Allow yourself just one piece of candy (small size) in the morning and then one at night. Skip any desserts that you would normally eat after dinner.

3) Only buy enough candy so that you expect to run out before the evening is over. It’s crucial to weight loss success to not have “trigger” foods lying around – the temptation is often too great.

4) Increase your exercise activity with one of our fat burning circuits or the Fit Body Band Program (http://www.fitbodybandprogram.com/) every day that you eat your two pieces of candy. This will help counteract the increase in calories that you are consuming.

5) If you indulge a bit too much it’s important to forgive yourself and move on. (Enroll in the boot camps to get back on track) Dwelling on the past will not help your success.

6) Substitute your chocolate fix with something healthier. Fruit veggies or (my favorite) a peanut butter Craver (http://lefeverwellness.getprograde.com/)
