We all gain weight in the winter. Without swimsuit season looming, it’s easy to gain a few pounds, especially with the holiday goodies. government statistics say that over half of all Americans are overweight and the national Institute of child and health development released a study several years ago that the average American gains one pound per year during holiday season and never takes off that weight. This means that every decade adds 10 pounds! here are some easy tips on how to prevent that weight gain this holiday Season:

Eat first thing in the morning

Get your metabolism going early. If you don’t eat breakfast, your metabolism won’t get started until later in the day. Studies show that people who skip breakfast tend to gain more weight than people who don’t.

Get in a short workout first thing in the morningAgain, it’s all about the metabolism. get your heart pumping early. even if you only have 10 minutes, that’s better than nothing and that short bit of exercise can go a long way in getting your metabolism moving early. If you have a treadmill at home, go run as fast as you can for 10 minutes. If you don’t, just do some push-ups, jumping jacks, run the stairs, anything to get your body moving first thing in the morning.

Use milk instead of creamerThey do it all the time in Europe. Milk is a tasty but low-calorie alternative to creamer, especially when you use skim milk. Flavored creamers may be tempting, but most people can’t help adding too much and it’s full of calories. If you can’t drink your coffee or tea black, opt for skim milk.

Set your top weight limitMost people know what they have to weigh to be able to fit into their clothes. Let’s say you’ve noticed that your clothes get tight at 130 pounds. If you find that you’ve hit 130, it’s time to buckle down. give up sweets completely for 2 weeks until you get below 130, then slowly re-introduce sweets if you must. If you never allow yourself to get above your optimal weight limit, you won’t end up adding 10 pounds per decade like most Americans.

If you’re not hungry, don’t eat very muchThis sounds obvious, but most people don’t follow this rule. most people think they are required to eat dinner just because it’s 7:00. Let’s say you went out to lunch and had a Coke, white bread to start, a pasta dish, and a few bites of chocolate cake, and a coffee with creamer. how many calories do you think you had? 2000? There is probably a reason you’re not hungry at dinner, so don’t force yourself to eat. feel free to munch on an apple and a yogurt, but don’t feel like you have to eat another Pasta dinner just because it’s nighttime.

Staying thin isn’t easy, but with these tricks you might find it’s easier than you thought and it’s worth it if you can eat those extra cookies on Christmas morning, right?
