Today, we want to share with you Festive Season health tips, we are entering into the festive season (Chrsitamas and New Year) and many people would be eating and drinking a lot of foods and drinks. Both healthy and unhealthy.
We have seen people gain 10 pounds over a 30-day period between Christmas and New Year! Do you want to be that person? I know your answer is no. Here are some top secrets and tips for not gaining festive weight.
1. Get Active
When you wake up from bed, drink a glass of water, go outside and get active. You can do this every morning or evening. Even if there's Hamattan or there's dust, that's why it's good to walk early in the morning or late in the evening. Sun and dust wouldn't be much or if you can’t do that, do a 20-minute Burst training workout.
If you don’t have 20 minutes, even five minutes can help you keep that weight off
In addition to your morning workout, get outside and do something active during the day.
2. Focus on Protein
When you’re trying to lose weight or just keep the weight off these holidays is to focus on more good, quality protein foods.
Turkey is amazing. It’s full of tryptophan, protein and other amino acids that can really support your immune system, which can help improve your mood. There are a lot healthy benefits of turkey so when you’re loading up that plate Christmas Day, pack on the turkey. For instance, in addition to providing protein with fewer calories and less fat than beef and the tryptophan that helps the body make niacin and serotonin — which helps your mood — turkey contains selenium, phosphorus and B vitamins.
Selenium benefits include its role as a powerful antioxidant that regulates thyroid hormone metabolism and reproduction. With almost half of the daily recommended value of selenium in a serving, turkey is an excellent selenium source. As a food high in phosphorus, turkey also helps the body make protein and use carbs and fats, thus helping prevent weight gain. Throw in the beneficials B vitamin content — namely niacin, vitamin B6 and riboflavin — and turkey also benefits digestion, brain development, immunity, metabolism and red blood cell production.
So have the turkey piled high, go easy on the gravy, go easy on the stuffing, and add lots of turkey and then lots of good vegetables to your Christmass and new year plate. If you can do getting some good protein in there — even things like deviled eggs that you can make as healthier options.
So again, we highly recommend loading up on the turkey if you want to keep the weight off here Christmas/New Year day. Plus, as an added benefit, you can make so many healthy, delicious leftover turkey recipes that help limit weight gain and keep those pants from getting too tight!
3. Monitor Your Meals
Last but not least, if you want to really keep weight off, monitor your meals. We eat lots of rice and other foods high in Carbohydrate, incorporate Chibtox Tea in your daily drinking.
Also, wake up and consume a superfood shake. You’re probably going to overeat at that big Christmas/New-Year meal — and maybe even with the leftovers that night — but if you can still wake up and get a good, healthy, quality breakfast, that’s going to help you keep the weight off.
Don’t eat a lot of carbs in the morning — you’re probably going to get more carbs in the afternoon. Instead, I recommend a healthy beverage with a good, quality protein powder, some coconut milk and maybe like half a cup of berries — but really limit your carbohydrates in the morning. That’s going to allow your body to burn more carbs later on in the day. We recommend Chibtox Coffee, and Citrus Green Tea in the morning during breakfast.
If you do those three things, you’re not going to pack on the weight. If you overeat a little bit, that’s fine — just get a cup of Chibtox Plus or Chibtox Normal or Citrus Green Tea.
