\"simple-steps\"If you\u2019re like many people, the holiday season is a time of good cheer and great food. The first part is wonderful, but the second can be problematic.<\/p>\n

During the holiday season, the presence of all that food can be a tremendous temptation, and many people suffer from weight gain, promising themselves they\u2019ll lose weight at the start of the new year.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, if you\u2019re in the habit of serial dieting and see your weight fluctuate wildly over time, you\u2019re setting yourself up for failure.<\/p>\n

Those fluctuations in weight will literally rewire your brain. Any time you diet, your body will not interpret it as dieting, and instead will see it as a crisis. This will cause it to respond by hoarding every bit of energy it can, and of course, when your body hoards energy, it does so in the form of fat, which makes it harder for you to lose weight and keep it off.<\/p>\n

The best way to shed those holiday pounds is to keep it simple. Here are some strategies for doing just that:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Eat out of a smaller plate. This will fool your brain into thinking you\u2019re eating more than you are. The plate is full, so your stomach is happy.
\n\u2022 Drink more water. Water is a fantastic dieting tool because it contains no calories and your body needs it anyway. Most Americans are dehydrated, and this is due in large part to our coffee obsession (coffee dehydrates you!), so odds are that you\u2019re not getting as much water as you should be. There\u2019s no such thing as too much water, and it will help make you feel full.
\n\u2022 Fool your brain about exercise \u2013 Let\u2019s face it, nobody likes exercise, but there\u2019s a simple trick you can use to fool yourself into enjoying it more. Just pick any activity that you\u2019ve always wanted to try or currently enjoy and start doing more of it. The catch is that it needs to have a physical component. This could be anything from fencing to hiking or whitewater rafting to tennis. It doesn\u2019t matter, as long as those conditions are met. You\u2019ll be doing something you love, and you\u2019ll get more exercise, which will help you keep those pounds off!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
