Fat Loss Tips to Keep the Weight Off this Christmas

The Christmas season has snuck up on us once again and it seems that everywhere you turn there are Christmas parties, Christmas drinks, just about any excuse for a social get together will do. You have two options at this time of year.

You can be like most people and write off December and be behind the eight ball come January 1 just like every other year.

This is a bad choice as it only leaves you needing to lose even more weight than you do now.

Or you can choose the smart option and implement the three little secrets that I am about to share with you that will increase your chance of success of getting through this festive season without the weight gain of previous years.

You might surprise yourself and even lose weight at this time of year which is always a nice bonus!

1) Eat before you go out to a party

The chances are the food options at your function or party will not be the perfect nutrition choice to aid your fat loss mission so you will need to plan ahead.
The easiest way to do this is to make sure you eat something healthy just before you go out. The perfect snack will be something that has protein as an ingredient. Your best bet will be raw, unsalted nuts, a can of tuna or salmon or even some yoghurt.

Eating this just before you leave will fill you up and you will be less likely to rely on the plates of nibbles that offer no nutritional value.

If you forget to eat before you go out, make sure you stick with the vegetable snack plate. Carrot and celery sticks with hummus are a great option to curb any cravings and the bowl of nuts is always going to be better than the chips. Just be careful that the salt on these nuts doesn't make you overeat.

2) Get in a pre-party workout

What better way to get ready for a big night out by putting in a big workout first? Putting the money in the exercise body bank will not only make you feel good about yourself but will leave you feeling more alert and in a great mood after your body releases all of the post exercise feel good endorphin hormones throughout your body.

You will feel like you have earned your drink after this workout, just don't go overboard!

3) Limit your drinking days

I always hear the excuse people need to have a drink every night because they have something on every night this week. This is just a certain route to failure.

The best way to get through the festive season is to plan ahead when you are going to have a drink. Let's be realistic here. It would be silly of me to say just don't drink because that is not going to happen. It is time to celebrate; we just need to do it sensibly.

My big tip here is to make sure you have at least three to four alcohol free days a week.

Unfortunately, alcohol is just empty calories that increase your belly fat. On your alcohol free days just stick to water and not the soft drinks.

Soft drinks are nearly as bad for your figure as alcohol.

Implement these three tips and you are going to be in far better shape than everyone else who says I'll start my fat loss mission next year.

Why wait to do tomorrow what you can do today? Good luck on your weight loss mission and enjoy the festive season while maintaining your training regime and you will get the body that you deserve.
