Fiber One & Shape Magazine – Beating the Bulge: Staying on Track Through the Holidays

I had the opportunity to listen in on the Fiber One/ Shape Magazine video chat called – “Beating the Bulge: Staying on Track Through the Holidays.” The video chat was conducted, in conjunction with Fiber One, by senior associate health editor from Shape magazine, Bahar Takhtehchian.

Bahar spoke about staying fit and on track through the holidays. She shared some of her favorite tips for enjoying the holiday season -and holiday treats-without going overboard. These are just some of Bahar’s great tips to beating the bulge and staying on track through the holidays:

Don’t skip breakfast or you will make up for it later in the day. Choose foods like whole wheat toast and peanut butter, and other foods that pack a protein filling punch like hard boiled eggs or Greek yogurt and fresh fruit.
Eat a small, light lunch to avoid sluggishness later in the day. Get those veggies in and make choices like a salad with lean protein, a whole grain bread sandwich with lean protein, or low fat cheese and raw veggies and/or fresh fruits.
Eat snacks to rev. the metabolism. Choose an item like a Fiber One Brownie, which contains 5 grams of filling fiber and only 90 calories. Other snack items she suggested include: almonds, fresh fruit, and yogurt.
Stay hydrated. Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.
Enjoy your favorite holiday treats in moderation. Don’t deny yourself, instead, have a dessert just one night per week. Have just one cocktail.
Keep a small set of weights near-by to remind you to fit a little strength training into your day.
Regarding exercise, remember that we are all at our own pace. Find a way to move that you like doing and you will be more likely to stick with it.
