Are The Holiday’s The Enemy Of Dieters?

If you were to start a diet, during the holiday season, between Thanksgiving and Christmas, is likely the worst time to do it. It’s hard enough to avoid all the temptation that surrounds you on a daily basis, but during the holiday season it can be downright impossible.

There are many things to pull you off your path of dieting discipline. Parties, get togethers, plates of cookies mysteriously appearing at work. That cake that you feel obligated to have a piece of. However, there are a couple things you can do that can help. Read on.

The first is the best, and the hardest. Pure willpower. To feel that strong desire to shove all the cookies you can see in your mouth, but stand there smiling and not eating anything. Then going home and eating a bowl of oatmeal. It’s no wonder this is the least popular strategy. While you’ll feel really good if you keep to this, it won’t be much fun.

Next is pre planning and avoidance strategies. This means to fill your stomach up with water and low calorie fillers. That way those cookies, that cake, those jugs of eggnog won’t seem so tempting. Of course, this requires planning, and a strong defense mentality. While less difficult than pure willpower, this isn’t much fun either.

Last is by far the most popular strategy. Eat everything in sight, and worry about the consequences later. There’s a reason the gyms are usually packed after new years, and this is it. This is, of course, the most fun, but you are merely transferring any unpleasantness to the future.

What may be the most sensible thing to do is to combine these strategies into a plan that works best for you. Maybe allow yourself on or two events to really let yourself loose and eat an drink like there’s no tomorrow. That way, you can have your cake, and eat it as well.
