Acai Berries Diet

For those of you who have made it successfully through the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holiday season without overeating to any degree, congratulations.  That is very difficult to do.  I too have been known to enjoy a little too much turkey, pie, and dressing during this time of the year.

Every year millions of people include losing weight and getting in shape as one of their top new years resolutions.  Well, this year we are going to help make it easy for you to keep this resolution.

Here are seven tips from author and weight management coach Abby Aronowitz, Ph.D., on how to avoid holiday overeating:

1) Experiment.

Use the holidays as a time to experiment with new and unusual foods.  Try thing you have never tried before.  Rather than eating processed dairy and cheeses, try some of the artisinal cheeses from the beautiful spread at the office holiday party.  Don’t worry about counting calories as much as during the rest of the year.  That will only lead to disappointment and discouragement.  Also, try eating fresh seasonal favorites such as homemade cranberry sauce, rather than indulging in too much dessert.

2) Serve Yourself.

By serving yourself at holiday gatherings you are able to politely control the portions of food you eat.  Start by eating only the foods you like, and it is okay to go back for seconds.  Be sure to pay close attention to signs of becoming full, and give your food time to settle.  When eating quickly it is easy to become full without noticing.  The next thing you know, your are uncomfortable before even the dessert is served.

3) Push Away.

Many gracious holiday hosts will insist on serving you more than you want to eat.  If this happens simply shower them with compliments on how great the food was, and kindly decline their offer.  If you accept and the food is in front of you, you will be more likely to indulge.

4) Know Your Limits.

This is really reiterating the steps above, but it cannot be over-stressed.  Knowing your limits is one of the most important steps to not overeating during the holidays.  Eat slowly, and chew food thoroughly.  Give food time to reach your stomach and evaluate whether or not you are still hungry before returning to the buffet line for seconds.  This will help keep you from consuming too many calories this holiday season.

5) Stay Active.

If you work out during the year, be sure to continue your routine during the holiday months.  It may be hard to do with the addition of holiday parties and holiday shopping to your schedule, but even 20 minutes every other day will make a difference.

6) Compensate.

If you do not want to cut down on the hors d’ oeuvres or egg nog at holiday cocktail parties then compensate by cutting down on the calories during the day.  Try eating a breakfast bar in the morning, or a light microwave meal at lunch to help limit the consumption of calories.

7) Take Acai Berries.

Not only are acai berries good for you, but they help tremendously to curb your appetite, which helps prevent us from making bad eating decisions in the first place.  Simply take two acai berry tablets or capsules in the morning before beginning the day, and they will increase your metabolism, giving you the energy you need to get through the day.  Not only is your hunger craving satisfied, but you are able to enjoy your holiday without counting calories of feeling guilty.
