There are also supplements you can take like CLA, Green Tea extract and thermogenic products. Supplements aren't magic solution but adding them to a program that contains exercise and good nutrition can be very effective.

A leading health magazine I read also recommends:

1. Drink protein shakes throughout day (yes, females too) because it will help prevent overeating. Plus, protein is important. Two shakes is good. 2. Get 7-9 hours of sleep to keep your body in top condition. 3. Add whole grains to your diet, like oatmeal and brown rice, because of fiber they provide.

Get a piece of paper and write down following phrase:

"I, (your name), promise myself that for next two weeks I will workout extra hard to burn off my extra Holiday calories."

Now tape this piece of paper somewhere where you will see it often. It may sound corny, but seeing it constantly will help motivate you. Try it!

So now you've enjoyed delicious Holiday food and, at same time, eliminated problems of extra calories.
