With the holidays right around the corner, we all know that there

is a price to pay. I am not speaking of the price tags on the gifts

that you purchase for family and friends; I am talking about that

dreaded weight gain that we all have nightmares about!

Between all of the goodies we are exposed to during those

precious moments we share with loved ones, all of us are bound

to indulge in the deliciousness, at least a little bit. Or maybe a

lot. So, before that holiday fluff comes to haunt us, here are 10

tips to avoid weight gain.

1. Drink water! Be sure to drink at least eight glasses of water

each day.

2. Snack healthily. Almonds, granola, fruit or a protein shake

between meals are a great way to curb that midday hunger.

3. Say no to salt! Too much salt, aka sodium, actually makes

you retain water and really is not good for your overall

health, especially if you are trying to shed those extra

pounds. Try low sodium condiments instead!

4. Spice it up! Add cayenne pepper to your meals for some zest. Cayenne works as a

natural thermogenic to really target those fatty areas and help you burn that fat.

5. Practice meal prep! Make your meals at the beginning of the week to save you some

time and to ensure that you are making healthy choices.

6. Forgo fast food! Fast food is notorious for weight gain rather than weight loss.

7. Eat lean meats and good carbs. Rather than French fries and fried chicken, try

substituting savory baked chicken and a sweet potato instead.

8. Eat more salads! Eat at least one salad a day for that extra fiber and phytonutrients

that all of our bodies crave. Just add a protein and low fat dressing to make it a

complete meal!

9. Do 100 crunches a day! Try to incorporate crunches throughout your day to tighten

and tone that mid section.

10. Work up a sweat. Walk, run or do sprints at least 3-4 times a week to really get that

heart rate going and to sweat out those lingering toxins.
