Natural Health - How to Prevent Holiday Weight Gain?

September 22, 2008

Do you wish this was the year you could naturally prevent holiday weight gain? Does this sound like a familiar lament? ” I just figure this is the 2 months that I’ll gain weight and be unhealthy”. It always feels good when I can provide clients with simple solutions and I hear their optimism as they approach the holiday season.

Decide today what your weight will be on January 1st. Don’t think about what you hope it will be, and then make a New Years resolution to lose 15 pounds. Decide today what you desire it to be.

When you see that number each morning and evening smile at your self, knowing that you have programmed your mind and body to achieve the desired result. Your body will follow your thoughts. Your actions will be in alignment with your desires. If you tell yourself a negative concept, your body will go there just as easily.

I have worked in the field of energy medicine for 10 years. Research has shown that ” Energy Follows Thought”. Your thoughts are energy. Your body will do what you think it will do. I know it sounds crazy, and you think it can’t be that easy. You’re thinking if it was that simple no one would be overweight.

Don’t “save up your calories” for later in the day. This is good to remember all year long, but especially with all the after work parties. Many people decide to cut back on their intake during the day because they think they will over eat at an evening party.

Eat your largest meal and most calories when your body’s digestive fire and metabolism are highest between 10:00 am and 2:00pm. This is when your body will burn the most calories. If you eat two meals that are exactly the same, but one was eaten at noon and one at 8:00pm , more of the calories from the noon meal will be burned off just because you ate it when your metabolism was revved up in the middle of the day.

The more you eat later in the day, the more likely you are to store that meal as fat

I recommend adding a few drops of lemon, orange, or grapefruit essential oil to your water glass or bottle. I see the best results with therapeutic grade oils from Young Living. They are wonderful antioxidants to combat the stress of the holidays. Grapefruit oil is a natural appetite suppressant. Orange is a natural mood lifter, and lemon helps cleanse your liver. They also have Essence of the Season which lifts the spirit and puts you in the

Follow these easy tips throughout the holidays and you can easily maintain your current weight and maybe even lose a few pounds.
