Lose it this holiday season (the weight, that is).

Try our tips and tools to avoid excess holiday gain and actually wrap up the holidays with a weight loss. 

1. Stay accountable. Journal your daily intake whether it be on a phone app or in a paper journal.
2. Avoid the "all-or-nothing" mentality. You don't have to be completely off plan for a week, a day, or even a whole meal. 
3. Don't skip meals, even if a higher calorie one is coming up that day. Skipping meals may actually force you to overindulge in the high calorie foods, causing you to consume more calories than you would have had you just  stuck to a regular meal plan. 
4. Eat mindfully. Eat slowly. Pay attention to what you take in. Eating while being distracted will most likely lead to an increase in calorie intake. 
5. Don't drink your calories (from alcoholic beverages, that is). Simply put, it's just not worth the setback in your weight loss efforts.
