Written by Melanie Mendelson

The majority of people find themselves carrying additional fat once repparttar

years, few pounds gained over repparttar 115475

holidays here and there add up to 10, 20, 30 pounds of excess fat!

To avoid falling into repparttar 115476 holiday fat trap, follow these simple tips:

1. Don't deprive yourself. Munching on a green salad while everyone is feasting on turkey and stuffing is just not worth it.

Depriving yourself once is likely to cause you to eat everything in sight repparttar 115478 next day to "compensate" for your suffering.

2. Don't stuff yourself. You are not a turkey, after all! :-) Remember, this is not repparttar 115479 last time in your life that you can eat.

3. Eat a small meal several hours before repparttar 115480 party. This will prevent you from being too hungry when faced with abundant menu. When you are not starving, you can think with your brain, and not with your stomach.

4. Eat slowly. It takes our body about 20 minutes to realize that we are full. Also, repparttar 115481 slower you eat, repparttar 115482 less food you'll eat as opposed to eating fast in repparttar 115483 same amount of time.

5. Be aware of what you are eating. It's easy to get carried away in conversation, and eat way too much before you know it. Don't automatically go for more helpings while you are talking to someone.

SANTA GOES LOW CARB!

North Pole- The word is out! Due to an "unpublished dilemma" last Christmas Eve Santa has gone Low Carb!

Sources reveal that Santa was stuck in a chimney somewhere in California for over an hour last Christmas Eve - how embarrassing! The incident certainly wreaked havoc with his jolly schedule for repparttar 115475 most important night of repparttar 115476 year. In repparttar 115477 aftermath, it caused Santa to really stop and think.

After careful consideration - Santa and Mrs. Claus decided they could not risk a repeat of repparttar 115478 incident, but more importantly repparttar 115479 risk factors associated with Santa's health - oh my! Right after repparttar 115480 holidays, Santa visited his primary care physician for a complete physical. A "new lifestyle" was decided upon - It's repparttar 115481 "Low Carb Lifestyle" for Santa!

Santa has Changed His Mind - Changed His Heart - and is Losing Weight for Life! Will this make Santa "less jolly"? Absolutely not! Fat is not what makes Santa jolly! His weight goals are not to be a skinny "Twiggy Santa" but rather a "healthy weight Santa" with less inches (for some VERY obvious reasons). The keyword here though for Santa is: HEALTH!

Our sources tell us that Santa has more energy than ever, his creativity and staying power seem to be at an all time high! He has hired more elves this season just to keep up with him! The jolly fellow is even less stressed this season.

The absence of stress seems to be relative to repparttar 115482 fact that his chances of losing his jolly lifestyle to diabetes, heart disease and obesity have been considerably reduced by his new choice of a healthy eating lifestyle! Santa has serious work to do and HEALTH has become his priority!
