After all the egg nog and Christmas pudding, do you find your clothes a little tighter?
It is pretty normal to gain Fat during the festive season. Thanksgiving with family gatherings, turkey and pies, and signature dishes by family members. That is followed by a slew of Christmas parties with alcohol, desserts and all sorts of delicious food. Alcohol is metabolised by the body in the same way as fat. With the yummy dishes at the parties, there is a tendency for even the most careful dieter to over eat.
So now, how do you get rid of that excess Fat?
There is the quick and easy method. Diet pills.
Some pills speed up your metabolism so you burn up the fat more quickly. Others block the absorption of fat so you can’t store that fat in your body. Yet others act as diuretic that get rid of the excess fluid in your body.
Sure, they may be effective, but they can also harm your body. Look at the Slim 10 disaster that had the side effect of causing liver failure in a number of consumers. Is it really worth it?
A safer way is to control your food intake and to exercise every day. Change the way you live.
Schedule daily walks or runs to burn the calories.
Use the stairs instead of the elevator. Walk if possible, instead of taking the bus.
Keep a food diary to record down everything you eat and drink. So that you will know for sure, how many calories you really consume. Then work to reduce your daily calorie intake to something more suitable for your actual needs.
If you consume fewer calories than you burn, you would lose Fat.
