Tips for losing weight around the holidays

Drowning in Calories

Calories in a cup count just as much as those on your plate. Alcohol is particularly sneaky: According to a 2012 report by the Center for Disease Control, American adults consume an average of 100 calories a day from alcohol. Add in sweetened beverages like coffee, tea, soda, and juice, and you could be over doing BIG time. Studies show in general liquid carbs don't contribute to satiety the way solids do. That means if you down 200 calories at the bar, you wont compensate by eating 200 fewer calories at dinner.


Lose Weight

In a study done by the U.S. Army, dieters who ate twice the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for protein white cutting calories lost more fat and kept more lean muscle that those who stuck with RDA. Another study done at the University of Missouri found eating a high protein breakfast (35 grams of protein) as opposed to one low in protein (13 grams), curbed participants' appetites later in the day and reduced cravings for high-fat, high-sugar snacks in the evening.
