How would you like to lose fat during the holidays?

You can still make your turkey and eat it, too. A fist-size portion is ample protein and calories for a serving. Load up on veggies, especially fresh, and you're golden!
Many folks approach the holiday season with ambivalence: they love the chance to visit with family (sometimes not), they enjoy the samplings of treats, they worry about gaining a few extra pounds and push off that fitness goal until the New Year.
Why?
Does it have to be that way?
No.
Here are some tips to get you in the right mindset at Thanksgiving draws near and holiday parties flourish. There is no reason why you can’t be the beacon of light in your network of friends and family to actually shed unwanted fat and not skip a beat with all your holiday obligations:
- Make appointments with yourself to exercise throughout the week for the next 7 weeks.
- If early morning is the best time (before the rest of the house arises), then go to bed in your workout clothes and exercise first thing.
- Drink at least 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water daily! A dehydrated body doesn’t do anything optimally, let alone shrink fat cells.
- Make your exercise more efficient. Let’s face it, you’re going to be busier, right? So don’t grow ambivalent to exercise because you think it will be an extra 5 hours per week that you don’t have.
- Here’s how to make your exercise more efficient: total-body interval training lasting no more than 20 intense minutes to stimulate fat loss and an accelerated metabolism.
Fat loss during the holidays is not just a dream!
