Avoiding Holiday Weight Gain

Still remember how stuffed you were after that Thanksgiving dinner? We tend to over eat during the holidays, and there are two more just around the corner with many parties and celebrations in between.

You can enjoy all your favorite foods with joy and satisfaction, but learn to choose foods wisely during this holiday season. Did you know that there are:

About 280 calories in 1 piece of homemade Apple Pie

About 430 calories in 1 piece of homemade Pecan Pie

And, if you add 1 scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream, add about 200 more calories per delicious serving

You can have a piece of pie; however, choose a healthier option with fewer calories. Don’t forget to exercise during the holidays or most what you eat will accumulate unbecomingly around your waist and fanny. Remember this simple equation:

Calories consumed minus calories burned = calories stored

So, Pecan Pie (430 calories) – Sitting on the Couch (80 calories) = 350 calories that get stored in your body (as fat)

Remember to keep a decent balance of food intake and exercise output, and you’ll be ready for the New Year in better shape. Walk after dinner or supper to help burn calories and aid in digestion. Take the dog for a stroll and bring your children along for fun. Go sleigh riding, snow boarding, swimming, surfing or biking. Just get up, out and do something, no matter what part of the country you live in!

Still not enough to offset the calories intake? Add a couple tablets of the Carb Blocker 2 and block up to 500 calories per meal.  Be sure to check with your doctor if you  have medical condition including diabetes and hypoglycemia, before using this product.
