You do not have to gain extra pounds on holidays. Just remember about balance and moderation. You will never gain weight if you burn more calories than you take in with food.
Stay physically active. Of course, it is easier said than done. But it is always possible to find an activity to enjoy. Limit your television viewing time and go for a walk to see holiday decorations. If the weather keeps you indoors, it's not a problem. Put on your favorite music and dance.
Never skip meals, skip sodas. When you starve yourself, you slow your metabolism down. Do not go to a party hungry because you will be tempted to overeat. Also, try to limit you alcohol intact. Remember, calories add up.
Watch portion sizes. Enjoy your favorite foods but do so in moderation. Prefer a variety of tasty fruits and vegetables to sweets and chocolates.

Get to the Heart of It
If you tend to binge due to stress, or you regularly give in to emotional eating, your food diary can help you cope.
When you catch yourself eating when you're not hungry or giving into a binge, spend some time in reflection so you can figure out why it happened.
Weight Loss
This is a great advice. The holidays are so busy that we tend to forget about eating properly. I try to eat a small meal at home before I head out to visit the relatives... this way I'm full and not tempted to eat all the goodies that are on the table.

Hi guys,
These tips are very useful for losing weight, and from this blog I got very informative knowledge.
Skipping meals
Too true.. I have a bad habit of skipping meals, usually because I'm busy but sometimes there is more of a weight-lossy motive... But, like you said, I usually end up making up for it (and more) later at night. Good tips!
My Carrot Tip
Great tips! One of my tips is always have some peeled baby carrots available in the fridge. If I am really hungry before a meal, I would eat some carrots first. It fills the empty stomach and makes me less hungry. Also, everything in a carrot is good. It is loaded with fibers and low in calories.
