It’s holiday time. Plenty of food everywhere, staring at you from numerous plates, looking so delicious. How to resist and avoid weight gain?

Avoid plates refilling and fat, eat fish and exercise – sounds simple?

An average holiday feast contains up to 6.000 calories – we don’t have to tell you what that means.

But you should not fall into despair and feel bad if you are thinking you are missing something if you are not eating a lot because we are giving you some solutions. Here, you can see 7+ tips how to avoid weight gain during holidays.

1. Smart replacements

When you are cooking for yourself, you should replace regular groceries with lower calories. For example, use honey instead of sugar.

Eat zero-calorie foods.

2. Eat with your non-dominant hand

For example, if you are right-handed eat with your left hand.

By doing this you will confuse yourself, and you will be more aware of what is coming in your mouth.

Studies show that you will consume 30% less food each meal.

Extra tip: Chew a gum while you prepare food for the party

It is good for your breath and it also prevents you from nibbling during the night.
