how to stay on your diet during the holidays



hey everybody it's dmq divamakeupqueen. thank you somuch for watching i have today topic for healthy holiday eating and survival tips. i know with the holidays, and we just had thanksgiving behind us, and holiday party and all that stuff. i know it's hard to keep fit. by the way, if you want, i have a lot of diet videos i have lost a total of 15 pounds now on the paleo diet and several otherdiets i've tried. if you want to watch those other videos, i will put the playlist of all these videos down below so that you can see or up here. i never get know which side. let's get into healthy diet tips for the holidays!

how to stay on your diet during the holidays, tip #1! drink a lot of water. during the winter you can get really easilydehydrated because it's cold and it's dry sometimes we get mixed up with weather we are actually hungry or thirsty. buta lot of times, we are actually just thirsty and we think, like our brain thinks that we arehungry and end up eating more. there are many benefits to drinking water. not only to keep you hydrated, but also it makes you feel full. so i recommend drinking a lot of water before you go to a holiday party or before your christmas dinner or whatever, so that you keep things

flowing in the body. another tip before going to a holiday dinner or party, is to eat a little bit before you go off sothat you are not like starving, like if you are starving all day, and then you go and see all this food and all these food, and you are excited, everybody is eating and chatting and partying and then you just end upchowing the heck down. no. eat a little bit so you are not like starving when you get there and that wayyou just eat more responsibly. that one is easy, right? common sense. also if you want to fill up your plate, fill it up with vegetables and a fair amount of meat but not a lot. and if you want to eat carb (i don't anymore. i quit carb. that's the paleo diet. that's a whole different video. i'll link it here) on your plate is your vegetables. don't fill up the entire plate. do like a little bit. and remember to tell yourself you can always go get seconds later tip #4. don't beat yourself up if you end up eating a lot. more than usual

it is the holidays, it is time to celebrate and it's ok to eat a little bit more as long as you are pretty responsible. but i would say, don't let go of your fitness routine. keep working out. don't kill yourself, do what do what you normally do. try to walk it off if you can. keep yourself off the scale please. it's ok if you end up eating a little bit more. you can always lose it next week and enjoy. tip #5! if you dink, drink responsibly. i am talking about alcohol. but if you are drinking other beverages like soda actually i suggest that you quit soda , altogether. but if you can't, this is the time where you eat a little bit more on other holiday dishes. butlike some, that's just going add up to your calories. i would like, stay away from the soda, stay away from anything that this sweet like sweeteners,

sweetened tea, anything that has sugar in it, fruit juices, anything like that that has that is sweet and has caloriesin the drinks because that's going to add up to your calories. so just drink water like i was saying earlier. don't gulp everythingdown and just take your time, take small bites, eat, chat a little bit, take it slow. that's what i would say. then before you know it, you are going to get full. sooner, so you don't overeat. tip #6! beware of those appetizers! because you think i'll just have a little bit of that, a little bit of that. and especially at cocktail situation, very dangerous! because they will give you a little something, and you think it's very little but it has a million calories! choose wisely and just really look at the thing and be like, is this what i want to have inmy body and what's for entree. and kind of plan ahead. what you are going to have. everything is within your power guys. it's all in the mind of what you want to do. if i could lose 15 pounds andi am a small person. so 15 pounds is a significant amount and i very very different and i

feel so much better. i feel like, i wouldn't say overweight, but i would say a little chubby pretty much all my life. and this is probably the skinniest i have ever been. if i could do it, you could to it too. so keep up with your health, and fitness goals and your diet goals

just keep it up. it's ok to just splurge alittle bit once in awhile especially the holidays. keep it up. you can do it. i know you can! thank you so much for watching andif you have other diet tips as well and fitness tips, please do share below. so that we can all support each other and don't forget to hang out with me on facebook, twitter, instagram, and now snapchat all under the same name, diva makeup queen.
