Women's fitness and healthy eating can be maintained this season by embracing the do not's of holiday feasting
Ft. Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) December 11, 2008
Lady of America, the leader in women's health and fitness facilities across the nation, is helping women exercise good nutrition (http://www. ladyofamerica. com/about/dec_9_08.asp) habits this holiday season by creating a list of foods to avoid during the holidays. This time of year people's schedules become very hectic and eating healthy (http://www. ladyofamerica. com/locations. asp? l=gp) isn't always an option.
"It helps to view foods not strictly as 'good' or 'bad' but rather as a spectrum of options, with the goal being to make smart choices," said Jillian Sanchez, Director of Operations for Lady of America. "If your restrictions are too rigid, you increase the likelihood of getting frustrated and giving up control."
Lady of America compiled a list of typical foods found at holiday dinners, corporate parties and social gatherings to pinpoint which to avoid. Between sweets, drinks, dinners and more, you can't always eat healthy, but you can avoid the tricky things that will stick with you for months after the celebrations.
Sanchez noted, "During holiday times people are put out of their routines, they have parties for work, friends and networks they belong to. Lady of America understands that you may not be able to eat what your diet is telling you, but we wanted to create a list of what's really bad, and what people really need to avoid,"
What to Watch Out For This Holiday Season:
Egg Nog Candy Canes Potato Latkes Heavy Cream or Cheese Dips Cheesecake Baked Goods Dressed up sweet potato pies Alcohol - if you have to stick to 1 glass of red wine per day at most Fried hors d'oeuvres
Deciding what you're going to eat before you sit down is the key to success. Try to enjoy the company you are with, without spoiling your weight loss efforts.
