\"\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The holidays are upon us and with them comes the endless parade of tasty treats and heavy holiday meals which can challenge our will power and our health.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Holiday celebrations often encourage indulgence, overeating, sedentary behavior, and consumption of calorie-rich foods and beverages. In fact, adults in the United States gain an average of two pounds between November and January.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Good habits are essential for maintaining wellness and achieving fitness goals, even during the holiday season. Whether you are working toward a weight loss goal or just want to keep your diet on track, avoiding these five (5) simple pitfalls will help get you through the holidays without busting a button.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1. <\/strong>Eating Too Fast<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Slow it down. Whether rushing between activities or trying to multitask, eating too fast isn\u2019t helpful to your health. It can cause as upset stomach, your body won\u2019t be able to accurately register when you\u2019re full, and you may consume more calories than intended. Set aside time for meals and focus on what you\u2019re eating:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    \r\n
  • Pause between bites \u2013 take a deep breath, set down utensils, take a sip of water<\/li>\r\n
  • Savor each bite \u2013 focus on the smells, flavors, and texture as though tasting fine wine<\/li>\r\n
  • Pace yourself \u2013 set a meal timer or pace yourself with the slowest eater at the table<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    2. <\/strong>Mindless Eating<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    Just like eating too fast, eating meals while you\u2019re watching TV, wrangling the kids or preparing holiday treats, means you\u2019re not truly focused on what you\u2019re eating. You\u2019ll miss hunger and fullness cues and which leads to overeating. Again, set aside time for meals – even if it\u2019s just one meal a day, it\u2019s a great way to start building healthier eating habits.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    3. <\/strong>Not Recognizing Hunger Cues<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    While many of us may miss these cues because we\u2019re distracted or don\u2019t have time to answer them, some simply don\u2019t understand what their body is trying to tell them. Pay attention to the unique hunger signs your body gives you; these might include a growling stomach, a sense of abdominal emptiness or lightheadedness.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    4. <\/strong>Irregular Habits<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    Occasionally skipping breakfast, ditching your meal plan for fast food, or only making time for a healthy dinner once in a while doesn’t support a balanced diet. Irregular habits can be just as detrimental as bad habits. A planned cheat meal or an occasional ice cream is fine. You\u2019re not going to undo everything with one deviation. But if you\u2019re doing that several times a week it may be affecting long-term goals. Be consistent with your healthy habits to stay on track and hit your goals faster!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    5. <\/strong>Emotional Eating<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    The flood of visiting relatives, a busy house and a to-do list a mile long can overwhelm even the most resilient of people. When stressed, many of us turn to food and calorie-heavy beverages. However, using food to manage your feelings is an unhealthy way to deal with feelings\u00a0and<\/strong> food. Instead, explore these alternatives to eating:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

      \r\n
    • Yoga<\/li>\r\n
    • Meditation<\/li>\r\n
    • Taking a walk<\/li>\r\n
    • Journaling<\/li>\r\n
    • Talking with a friend<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

      Getting started is always the hardest part, especially if you\u2019re breaking down bad habits. This is true for healthy eating or physical activity. But life isn\u2019t perfect, and it\u2019s important to remember that it is okay to indulge every now and then, just don\u2019t make it a habit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
