In this Your Health segment, Caroline Meehan, RDN, CSOWM, LDN, a registered dietitian and nutritionist at the University of Maryland Medical Center, says it’s not uncommon for people to gain as much as 10 pounds between the Thanksgiving and New Year’s holidays. Ms. Meehan discuss how to avoid weight gain and eat healthier not only during the holidays but also throughout the new year.
The good news is that people who are more active are better able to keep their weight stable during the holidays. Try these simple cold-weather strategies: Bundle up and take a brisk walk outside — the cold air will also rejuvenate you. Make a post-meal walk a new family tradition so you can share the benefits and bond with loved ones.
When you’re trying to lose weight, the holiday season — and the tasty treats that come with it — may seem to pose a threat to your weight-loss goals. But there’s a way to navigate the holidays without sacrificing your hard-earned progress. It’s called weight maintenance. Holiday season is upon us and since I work with many people wanting to lose weight, I am often asked for strategies to maintaining present weight or even to continue weight loss during the holidays. No doubt your willpower will be tested during this season.
The holidays are here and in full effect. As the parties start piling up, our healthy eating habits fly right out the window. You can use some of the tips from our previous blog, but here we’re going to give you a few more strategies to maintaining your weight during the holiday season while also enjoying yourself.
1. Don’t Beat Yourself Up. Place bowls of fresh fruit around your home and encourage your guests to eat from these fruit bowls. Focus on socializing rather than eating and always plan ahead when you are invited to a party. The best advice is never to go to a party hungry.
Keep your mindset to maintain your current weight rather than losing weight during the holiday season. How to Maintain Your Weight During the Holidays Maintain — Don’t Gain — This Holiday Season. December 12, 2013 by Leta Shy. these strategies will help you stick to your goal. Tips For Maintaining Your Weight During The Holidays The holiday season is a known time for weight gain; but does it have to be?
Rachel Zsarnay. Dec 01, 2015. University of Toledo.
13 USDA The holidays are upon us, which means a plethora of delicious food will be at our disposal. I love the holidays, and I think the food that comes with them. The holidays may bring family and friends together, but they also bring decadent treats and a tendency to overindulge. Enjoy your festive feasts without putting on pounds by finding some simple ways to add more exercise into your holiday routine. Try some of these easy tips for adding more activity into your.
But it is possible to keep the holiday food fests from ruining your weight loss plans. One of the best ways to start, experts say, is by discovering what your personal holiday overeating cues. But one of the most effective ways to maintain or lose body weight is to engage in regular, sustained aerobic activity. To burn off those extra calories, kick up your exercise.
If you exercise for.
List of related literature:
4: Keep up your exercise and fitness program during the holidays.
Those dieters who had lost more than 3 kg (61/2 lb) by pre-dieting during the six months prior to Christmas gained less weight (from 175 g/6 oz to 2.15 kg/ 4% lb) between Christmas and Epiphany (a religious festival celebrated on January 6) than those who didn’t pre-diet.
from The 17 Day Diet by Dr Mike Moreno Simon & Schuster UK, 2011
It works like this: use the Accelerate or Activate Cycles to start trimming off a few pounds of fat before the holidays get in full swing.
If you have time to plan ahead before the change in routine, think about what you can eat and how to avoid the fattening foods that will affect your weight loss (like Aunt Mary’s butter cookies or Uncle Harry’s barbecued spareribs).
Accordingly, these participants also planned to eat healthier prior to the New Year, intended to avoid unhealthy food during the holidays, and felt guiltier when imagining holiday overeating.
One thing I do allow, since I’m not practicing this diet for any sort of critical medical condition, is to periodically take a break around the holidays.
And while it is reasonable to plan in advance to eat a little extra, you will certainly gain weight if you go to a lot of parties during the holidays and indulge at each one.
“Yeah grandma, this is proteinshakemarinated egg chicken beef steak with my special sauce “i’m fucked up” PWO with a hint of Creatine, just for the flavour… ahh don’t complain about not being able to chew, grandma.. we’ll just put it in the blender i’ve done that aswell from time to time. Oh, i almost forgot! here comes the veggies!:D ”
Yeah, i’ll just have to learn how to not overeat, stay relatively active and avoid the worst foods this holiday
Or, just enjoy the Christmas and New Year period, stop worrying about what you’re eating for that week or so and get right back to your usual eating habits and fitness goals on January 2nd.
Plus, cooking the food actually saturates your sense of smell with the food’s aroma, which “cheats” your brain to thinking that you had already eaten your dish and you can’t take too much of it.
It is sooo easy to put on weight, it’s crazy! I stopped riding my bike to college for just 1 year & in that time I gained 21 pounds! Couldn’t believe it, I’m now getting a treadmill for after Christmas
man. Too much of everything is not good, that also goes with protein. Better to do some protein low days (25 g) to promote autophagy and that contributes to a better health.
Hello PictureFit, im loving your videos because you give very good information quick and easy. However, I’m going to the gym at around 8pm and everyone suggests going in the morning, is this real? does it affect gains?
only holiday i celebrait is chrismas and then only 3 days of free eating. dont even bother to count its only 3 days and the damage aint big because you still have 362days left till next chrismas
I’m a personal trainer and I teach my clients that “Christmas calories don’t count” because at this time of year it’s more important to share the love and have fun with friends. We can always get back on track in the New Year. Great video
+Picturefit I have a video request and sugestion. If you would like, could you make a video about the factors that influence muscle strength other than type 2 muscle fibers an muscle volume?
PLEASE STOP WITH THE COUNTING CALROIE NONSENSE! As I commented on one of your older videos i watched:
This is misleading. There are diffrent types of calories, fat, protein and carbohydrates. It is true that if you eat less calories you will lose some weight, but the body needs fuel and only eating 500 calories a day is not healthy. Furthermore, the body adapts to the calorie intake, so if you eat less calories, the body will burn less calories. One of the more healthy and sustainable weight loss methoods is per example reducing the carbohydrate inntake, like sugar and white bred. Whats more intresting is the fact that fats contain twice the amount of energy when compared to carbs and protein, so if you eat fat, the fat will help burn more fat. So if you reduce the inntake of carbs (carbs which you really dont need) and increase the amount of healty fats, youll lose weight and have a substansielle inntake of calories.
Could you do a video over the different types of fats? I’ve heard how bad trans fats are and how other types of fats (like the ones in nuts) are very good for you. I would like to know more.
HEY, really great videos op, i love that you post the sources of what you talk about in the video, could you make a video on target muscle shaping eg: a guy comes up to me and asks me what exercise to do to get the inner chest cuts, some people believe there are different exercises specifically for shaping muscles.
Losing weight for me was a dream. So I followed the weight loss expert instructions, you can see the method here: weightlossin3weeks. com (Google it) I managed to lose 20 pounds in 4 weeks, I am so happy
Funny how all comments are apparently body builders. What makes people gain fat during holiday is because they feast 3x a day and have enough left overs to feast on throughout the week. 15k cal x 5
Hello picture fit. I love this channel. I’m a bodybuilder in progress and I would like it if you could do a video on fat burners for me please. But thanks anyways for everything you do. Keep ate it.
Hey I think you should make a video on the age old question. Does lifting stun your growth? I think its an interesting topic and it would help out a lot of young athletes.
I soooo needed this, thank you really appreciate it!….. I love your nails, what nail polish color are you using, if you don’t mind sharing that! Thanks again and happy holidays
5000 more calories over the entire holidays? LOL! It’s not hard to eat 5000 calories in a single day, especially when you’re eating turkey, gravy, stuffing, buns, mashed potatoes etc!
Guys if you’ve ever heard of Cinderella Solutions you should definitely try it because my mom was able to lose weight really easily it was crazy! It’s apparently one of the most popular routines in the country at the moment as well. Here’s a link if you’re curious haha!:) http://bit.ly/EasierWeightLoss
Hey, i’m starting to workout but i’m not sure about what kind of trainings i should be doing. What is the difference between endurance training and strength training? Which build muscle? Tone muscle? Burn fats more? Help me please before i keep on doing the wrong exercise:(
Wow, these videos are a great explanation and representation of overall gains, but I would like to see a video as to how to exercise, like what types of exercise to do, how to change it and what kinds of exercise make up for strength and what make up for speed and flexibility! Or how to have both for a particular sport! Thank you in advance and keep up the good work!
This is why I eat my whole-food vegan diet all year. So that come Thanksgiving, I can eat whatever in whatever quantity I desire and I might gain 2 or 3 pounds. December is, in my household, traditionally a month of extra-long walks, to combat weight gain and seasonal affective disorder. I aim for 4 to 8 miles a day in December. By the time January comes along, I actually need to gain weight!
No. If you’re on a diet or new health lifestyle you most certainly CANNOT offer to cook. Your taste buds may not be able to taste the difference but myself and the guest will lol.
i’m very impressed… this is helpful, professional,and very interesting. so, I wana share this vedio for Korean I’m here now. I wanna download these vedio, and add subtitles, then upload to the YouTube. would i have to do with this?? there is any problem in copyright??
Simple, stay away of your pregnant wife or you’ll be ended eating all what she desire to to eat. aghhh Unfortunately you cannot say no to her else she will be upset and this is bad for the baby
i usually dont do too much extra cardio (just 1-2 runs a week to keep my endurance in check while i try to ramp up my lifts) but during the holidays i let myself enjoy it while adding in either an extra run a week or a HIIT day.
I have been using the tea for about 2 weeks now. The weight loss green store tea is very helpful and always available for questions or advice. While there has not been a huge or immediate change in weight loss, I have noticed enough change to make me want to stick with it. Definitely worth the try!!
I’m a vegetarian and usually make nut steaks for christmas, which aren’t that bad at all, except for the butter dough I put around it. There’s still all the cake and stuff though… Oh well, I’ll just go for a bunch of walks, and I’ll bring my bf and/or mother along. Exercise AND quality time spent with loved ones achieved!
It isn’t possible to gain 5 pounds over the course of one day. 85% of that weight is water weight. On a day off, drink two liters of water and just give yourself 4 hours to piss it all out. Problem solved.
I go on vacation next month for 7 days.. I don’t mind if I don’t lose. I just wanna maintain the weight I leave my house at lol. I’m so close to my goal and plan and working toward being it.
Hey, idea for new video: what can we actually do to prevent injury? Since there have been insufficient evidence to support that warms ups, warmdowns and static stretching supposedly do reduce risk injury, what can we do to avoid it? Mastering correct form? etc.
Fresh foods or processed foods has nothing to do with “weight” gain. Normal people that don’t understand nutrition say the most ignorant stuff I’ve ever heard. SMH
The holidays should be about enjoying the people’s company, i.e. talking to them. Food is supposed to be fuel and only that, not something to be enjoyed. Socializing should never be used as an excuse. Other people don’t give a shit what or whether you’re eating when you’re around them. People need to find better things to do with other people than eat.
For some reason youtube unsubed me from you:/ i’ve heard this happens to channels from time to time, keep an eye on your sub count, incase you’ve lost a few subs.. anyway glad I’m re-subbed keep up the awesome content.
Forget NOT gaining weight while I’m ON VACATION, I need to lose weight BEFORE my vacation LOL I’m actually a hot mess before my vacation and did a video about it
My favorite strategy is to eat as I normally would on holidays, that is to say, well above maintenance. But after the holidays are over, I’ll just go on a mini-cut for a week or two, to shed the fat gain accrued. It really isn’t so bad. Even if you eat an extra 10.500 calories over the holidays, that’s only 3 lbs of fat. 3 weeks of moderate cutting will balance that out.
1. Eat your proteins first then move on to carbs etc. 2. Offer to cook so you can control your dish and ingredients 3. Plan ahead e.g. you can do -200kcal each day leading up to xmas
I’m sorry to say that, It might sound hateful but anywhere outside of the US you go, even if you eat everything in sight, you will lose weight because there is simply no other country that put as much sugar in everything or serve huge portions like the US
Me Cooking? OK, this is how it would go…
“Yeah grandma, this is proteinshakemarinated egg chicken beef steak with my special sauce “i’m fucked up” PWO with a hint of Creatine, just for the flavour… ahh don’t complain about not being able to chew, grandma.. we’ll just put it in the blender i’ve done that aswell from time to time.

I lost like 15 pounds when I went to turkey, the only food there which I liked was the fruit and pasta which they only did on Wednesday
