I don’t see much discussion of low carb diets, which from what I read has real health benefits like reducing insulin resistance and blood pressure, as well as weight. There are a number of low carb programs that readers could find beneficial.

Instead of eating “diet” versions of sweets I think it’s better to just occassionally indulge in the real thing. I honestly thing that diet versions of sweets are a huge problem because they cause a “trigger” to desire more sweets.

Barb,

It’s all about doing things in moderation. I’m weak when it comes to those things so prefer to eliminate them. One can do plenty of greeting without eating during the holiday season. I want to prevent as much temptation as I can. At least this year. Maybe next year I’ll be better.

Hello There,

I agreed with the above article and it is certainly a healthy way to live but don’t you think that is what Christmas is all about greeting and delicious food. Should be restrict ourselve on these days as well?

What a great post, and I admire your good decision-making! Yes, as a fitness expert, I agree…if you can’t resist ‘em, just literally don’t even go there.

It’s really rough this time of year to keep your weight loss program going–so it’s OK to give yourself permission to just stay on a plateau for a few weeks. Hey, at least it’s better than gaining!

Activity is the key–get out there, get moving, and don’t stop. Think anti-lazy. Look for the farthest-away parking spot.

And no, I hate diet cookies, too, so I just try to duck the massive shower of baked goods, cookies and fat-filled drinks like eggnog that prevail this time of year.

Good luck, and don’t wait until January 2nd to get your fitness program in high gear!

It is very tough not to give in to these temptations…especially during holidays…
You are doing a good job staying away from them…and encouraging all to do likewise….
