Awesome ideas! I know I’m a prime example for over eating during the holidays! Especially with desserts but it’s a great idea to start eating before I cook! Will give it a try!

Such a helpful post! I honestly already started overeating. LOL. This season can be the worst when it comes to diet. These are such awesome tips. Thanks.
Rose says
Holidays and food will get you. Sneak right through your goals and live you disappointed. I skipped a cookie exchange to avoid the temptation but now want to do 12 days of cookies. Which means not starting a no sugar diet until that’s over, lol. I’m pretty good at not over indulging but I’m also good at eating a treat daily.
The Travel Ninjas says
Thanks for these great tips. My biggest overeating problem comes from relatives insisting that I’m too skinny and non stop handing me food that they made specially for me. It’s nearly impossible to refuse without hurting their feelings.
Enjoyfreebies says
These are excellent tips. I also try to eat healthy during the holidays. I like to try everything, but only put a tiny bit of everything on my plate. That way I know I’m not going overboard.
Amber says
I admit it, I do overeat during the holidays. The food is just so dang good, I can’t help it!

These are really good tips. I’m not a fan of cooking with salt, but I can’t control what others put in their food.

Don`t eat all the desearts on the buffet table! Thats my biggest take for today especially as I love desserts very much.
Mindy @ Farm Fit Living says
Great tips! What helps me is drinking plenty of water and staying active. I like helping the host in the kitchen: Setting the table, clearing the table. As well as going outside and playing with the kids.

I’m so bad about eating breakfast. I need to start and to eat more protein.

“The holiday food binge makes “you” 5 kg heavier, every decade”… OMG!! That’s scary! Thanks for the tips, they make sense and can certainly help in staying fit!
Lennae Stubbs says
I always over indulge over the holiday season, so it’s always good to keep in mind a few tips to prevent this. Especially after I end up with a very sore stomach from over eating. Your tips are great, thanks for sharing them.

Great Tips Amrita…never knew there was a connection between the color and food. But somewhere, the overall Indian cooking is loaded with weight-increasing stuff. Need to select the healthier options (still a challenge for me though).
deepagandhi says
Great tips Amrita. Portion control, eating healthy, water and staying physically active can actually do the trick. Useful and informative post and apt for the festive season.
Ashwini Dodani says
Excellent tips there, Amrita 🙂 Helpful.

Really, “holiday seasons” can load you up with weight, which you spent months working out. But I think when you do for a vacation, you should not restrict yourself. Cause that is the very reason, you took a vacation. To be Yourself. To Have Fun. To Relax. To Enjoy.
dramrita says
Hee hee.I really wish I could do that without the guilt trips.
mahekg says
I loved the plate idea..nice one never thought of it
dramrita says
Thanks Manisha
Mayuri Nidigallu says
I do all the things you mentioned we shouldn’t and so holidays and weight gain are my constant companions.
I will try and curb my sweet tooth with this tip;
Don’t eat all the deserts on the buffets . Select the one you really love . Maybe have a bite of another .
Use the 3 bite rule.First bite for pleasure.Second bite to slowly savour it.3rd bite for a lingering memory.
dramrita says
Thanks Mayuri. I too have a sweet tooth. My biggest problem is picking the on I like best
Rachna says

dramrita says
