Holiday Advice from Z-Health
by BAM! on Nov.22, 2011, under New Post
This is some holiday advice from our friends at Z-Health Performance
The Holiday Weight Gain Myth
You want in on a dirty little secret around the “typical” 5-10 pound holiday weight gain? It’s a myth. It’s not true.
What IS true, however, is that most people put on 1-2 pounds – that they never lose. (Unless you are already significantly overweight, in which case you are likely to gain 5-7 pounds.)
So, it’s not the weight gain that is the problem, it’s the lack of weight loss. Over 5 years, the additive holiday weight gain is 10 pounds – which looks remarkably like the “middle-age spread” phenomenon.
Holiday Scale
The key? Don’t gain the weight to start with! Here are some tips to help:
Scale-Friendly Holidays
Keep Your Stress Down. Harmful holiday stress can do many things. It causes inflammation, generates a hormone cascade that hinders our ability to meabolize fat, and causes you to make food decisions you wouldn’t normally make.
No one will remember if you are 10 minutes late to the party, didn’t get the holiday cards out, or forgot the cranberries at Thanksgiving dinner. Swap it all for a deep breath, a smile, and a laugh – it’s really what you want people to remember about you, anyhow, isn’t it?
Maintain Your Dietary Restrictions. If you are gluten-free, lactose-intolerant, grain-free, or adhere to any of the other numerous dietary restrictions that are common in today’s society, the holidays are not a time to give them up. If your body is intolerant, you’ll be adding fuel to the fire by indulging. Instead? Find an awesome dietary-compliant treat to bring. Your body – and the other guests – will thank you.
Don’t Sample Everything. Variety is the spice of life, but it’s also a recipe for overeating. A little bit of this and a touch of that, and suddenly we’ve consumed 1,000 calories without even realizing it. If you want to indulge at the party, stick to just one or two foods, and enjoy them to your heart’s content.
Use Caloric Averaging. The conventional wisdom that one bad meal isn’t the end of the world is totally true. Our body isn’t like a cash register that cashes out at the end of every shift. Instead, our physiology is well-equipped to handle periods of overeating, as long as it’s balanced out by undereating.
Stay Active. The old adage in the fitness world is that you can’t out-exercise a bad diet, but activity levels do matter. Studies show that those who become or stay active during the holidays are less likely to gain that one to two pounds to start with.
By following these tips, you’ll burn calories, reduce stress, and improve brain function – the trifecta of wellness for a healthy and happy holiday season.
