Staying Skinny This Holiday Season
Weight gain isn't inevitable if you show a little self-respect.
By Susan Woodward for MSN Health & Fitness
The average person gains seven to 10 pounds between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day, chef Dawn Hall recently informed me.
Seven to 10 pounds.
Putting on that kind of girth due to holiday over-indulgence is easy, Hall assured me. Taking it off come January is not a simple task, involving either routine workouts and/or a disciplined reduction in daily caloric intake.
"A lot of people do that cycle," said Hall, author of Busy People's Cookbooks (Cookbook Resources). "Then at some point along the line they have a hard time getting back on the bandwagon. It's very dangerous. You're playing with your health."
And for no good reason. The holidays are not a license to throw your healthy lifestyle habits out the door, said registered dietician Sylvia Klinger, who teaches community cooking classes in Chicago every Thanksgiving. They're a time to remain aware of how you treat your body. The following ideas can help guide you through the holiday season.
Plan
Mark all your holiday parties and get-togethers on a calendar and develop personal eating guidelines for each event, suggested Hall. "We handle situations better when we have a plan A and B," she said.
Avoid
Cured meats laden with salt and desserts containing large quantities of white flour and sugar are just the type of holiday favorites no one needs. They're the foods that give us a sense of heaviness and drowsiness after we've consumed them. "If you feel like falling asleep after you've eaten, that's a very good barometer, for sure!" said healthy cooking chef and television host Marvin Woods, who owns a restaurant in Florida.

12 Days of Fitness
Leading Fitness Experts Give The Gift Of Health To World With Biggest Ever Health and Fitness Giveaway
This Festive Season On Wednesday, December 10, Dax Moy and over 250 of the world's top fitness professionals will open the doors on the World’s largest ever health and fitness gift-giving, set to generate positive health for over 500,000 people this Christmas.
The program, called ’12 days of fitness’ initially began when the UK's leading fitness professional, Dax Moy, wanted to express his gratitude to his clients and offered them a gift a day for 12 consecutive days as his twist of the 12 Days of Christmas.
Last year Moy shared this idea with fellow fitness professional Pat Rigsby and they expanded the 12 Days of Fitness to include not only their own clients but to the world at large and gave fitness gifts to over 200,000 people who
signed up at the site at http://www.12daysoffitness.com/.
This year, with the help of 250 of the world's top personal trainers, nutritionists, therapists and specialist fitness experts, the 12 days of fitness is set to become the biggest fitness gift giveaway in history with expected downloads of over 500,000 between the 10th and 22nd of December.
"There’s never been another health event like this, where so many people stand to benefit from the expertise of true professionals for free” says Moy who has been working flat out to make this year’s 12 days a success.“Fitness professionals from around the globe have contributed hundreds of e-books, reports, videos, meal plans and other free gifts in their hope of making 2009 the year that anyone, regardless or their location, financial situation or past failures, can finally reach their fitness goals and make those New Year's Resolutions a reality once and for all.”
Perhaps the best part of the 12 Days of Fitness giveaway is that regardless of a persons health or fitness goals, there are going to be gifts specifically designed to help them achieve success."We've received gifts designed for busy mom's, elite athletes, bodybuilders, back pain sufferers and pretty much anyone else you can imagine covering everything from fat loss to rehabilitation and everything in between.There literally will be something for everyone this year and all of it free, making it, without a doubt, one of the most important gifts anyone will receive this year. After all, what’s more important than health?”
The 12 days of gift giving starts December 10th but those interested are urged to
visit http://www.12daysoffitness.com/ right away to sign up for their free gifts.
Once enrolled, participants will get a daily email telling them how to access each of the new gifts that are being added each day as well as a reminder on how to access previous gifts.
