Sure, there are the many joys of this time of year – spending time with family, friends, and the joy on kids faces.

But there are also many temptations laid out before us – in the form of Turkey, Ham, Stuffing, and a vast array of pies, cakes, and other goodies.

In other words, this time of year is why we all end up feeling really guilty come New Years Eve and make Resolutions to eat better, get thin, and exercise!

All of which is forgotten about 2 weeks into the new year!

So, how do you keep your life and diet in balance during the holidays?

Discipline and self-control – yep. Sorry. It’s all up to you. If you’re going to be spending time with Grandma, and her goal in life is to FILL the table with food, YOU are the only person who can control your portions.

Control your portions – Weight Loss and Healthy Eating during this time of year hinge on you controlling what you get on your plate and how much. You don’t have to eat some of everything, and you don’t have to eat a lot of it! Do this – pick your favorites, and eat just those. Remember, healthy living isn’t always about eating nothing but healthy food. You can treat yourself, but you have to do so in moderation. Even a tablespoon of 30 different foods can be too much.

Eat healthier stuff first – Most times, there isn’t much truly healthy on the table during these holidays, but pick what’s the best, and eat your appropriately-sized portion of that first. Green Beans, veggies, a salad. This will help balance your blood sugar and start to get you feeling full. The result – you won’t be driven to eat as much as possible of every piece of turkey, ham, stuffing, and dessert available.

Get Moving! – Even if you don’t have any exercise regime ongoing, now is the perfect time to start. Don’t make this a doctoral project – you don’t need to wait to buy any specialized equipment. Go for a walk with your spouse, or by yourself at lunch. Even a 30 walk can kick-start your metabolism and help you burn off any of those unwanted calories.

This time of year is joyful, and it doesn’t have to be filled with days of belt-loosening feasting. Moderate yourself and you can come through to the new year feeling great, looking great, with a new exercise program, and renewed self confidence!

“There is no better time than now. The time to live is now. The time to dream is now. The time to imagine and forget the past is now. The time to shine is now. The time to bleed, sweat, and determine yourself for the things you want most is now.”

What are your main Fat loss objectives?

1) Thunder thighs

2) Stomach Fat

3) Love Handles

4) Man Boobs

5) Flabby Arm Fat

6) All of the above

More than likely your problem is how to burn fat. Yes most people have particular areas (as in the above list) but it comes down to a total body fat loss, weight loss and building lean muscle.

If you know anything about losing weight it is this you can’t spot reduce. That is if stomach fat is your main problem doing hundreds of Ab crunches will not reduce your stomach fat. Focusing on specific Ab exercises is only helpful after you lose that layer of fat covering your Ab’s.

Here’s the deal!! It is only by losing overall body fat that you will then be able to see your Ab’s and the overall musculature that you’ve been hiding.

So What are the keys to Fat Burning?

1) Diet and when I say Diet (actually diet is a poor choice of a word for this ) what I really want you to think of is eating clean and healthy.

First Let me let you in on a little secret

You don’t have to have the absolute perfect diet. Yes you need to kick the junk food habit (my weakness is peanut M&M’s) but you know what? I still allow myself to indulge in them from time to time.

Stay away from the fast food joints they are killers. It is a matter of developing a clean eating plan, planning out your meals a few days ahead of time helps a lot.

Portion control is usually the biggie. I am sure you have heard the best meal plan for losing fat is eating 5-6 meals a day. The key to this is your eating smaller portions spread out through the day.

You can essentially eat breakfast ( eat the bulk of your carbs early in the day) lunch and dinner but inbetween have 2-3 snacks a day. Snacks consisting of fruit, vegetables, nuts, whole grain products, non fat milk products.

Some benefits of snacking:

1) Healthy snacks provide fiber and nutrients your body needs.

2) You can curb the feeling of hunger or starvation right before a meal, which prevents overeating. Snacking may help you eat smaller portions and reduce your calorie intake.

Here is some calorie numbers for some healthy snacks:

Banana 1 medium banana – 118g Calories: 105

Apple 6.5oz Calories: 96

Raw Almonds 20 almonds Calories: 139

3) Though individual calorie needs vary, your body needs fewer calories as you age.

4) Eating smaller meals more often may help you stay on track.

Eating clean is a matter of determination and motivation if you want that thinner body there are certain sacrifices you must make. I can tell you that once you get into the habit and seeing that lean athletic body in the mirror everyday you will wonder why you didn’t do this sooner.

5) Stick to your nutrition plan 90% of the time using the 90% Compliance guidelines.

How does this work?

Well, let’s say you are on a 2000 calorie per day diet. To hit 90% compliance, that means 1800 calories must come from fruits, veggies, nuts, and protein, leaving you 200 calories “to play with”.

You can either have a 200 calorie treat each day, or save up 200 calories for 3-4 days straight and have a 600-800 calorie reward meal every 3-4 days.

There is no time like the present

To Remove fat and exponentially increase your health?

I’ve found that just 5 quick and easy healthy eating tips will do the trick.

Only catch is… you will need to consistently follow them.

Eating healthy is actually quite simple. Don’t get caught up in thinking you need to change everything all at once. You can remove excess fat and become a much healthier person by following these four simple healthy eating secrets:

1. Manage Your Portion Size:

The amount of food you eat at one sitting can have a dramatic affect on your weight.

Problem is, most of us eat way too much and it shows up with those unwanted pounds.

Here’s a little secret… never eat up until the point you are full. Amazingly enough, studies have shown it takes about 20 minutes for your brain to tell your stomach that it is “full”.

By the time the message gets there, it can be too late!

2. Eat more than three meals per day:

Strangely enough… The old “3 square” a day way of eating is a prime culprit in your excess fat.

Your body is created to graze. That means… eating throughout the day.

You will be healthier and leaner if you eat at least five or six meals per day because your metabolism will operate more efficiently.

3. Eat Fruits and Vegetables:

Did you know?…

Excess fat is more easily stored in the presence of a nutrient deficient body.

The prime reason that fruits and vegetables are so effective for weight loss is that they supply the body with much needed nutrients.

As a rule of thumb… consume fruits and vegetables with each meal.

4. Eat carbohydrates regularly:

A low carbohydrate diet can be very harmful to your body.

Remember the following… vital organs won’t function without carbs. So when you eliminate these types of foods you can actually be starving yourself and causing serious harm.

Only avoid heavily processed, refined carbs.

These include things like white flour, white sugar, many types of bread and pasta, soft drinks and many other foods.

5. Stay hydrated:

Drinking plenty of water is perhaps the single greatest thing you can do for your health.

It flushes toxins, waste and even excess fat from your body.

The bottom line here is… without enough water you will have a very difficult time losing weight.

Give these 5 simple healthy eating secrets a try and see for yourself the great results they cause.
