With holiday parties in full swing it's easy to get caught up in the gluttony of it all. Make sure you don't put on the extra pounds with these 4 helpful tips. I also just so happened to win Best Dressed award this year at the Christmas party.
#1. Order On The Side- This includes salad dressing, condiments, butter, sauce, gravy, whipped cream. Basically anything that is jam packed with calories should be ordered on the side. This will allow you to manage your serving size and calorie intake.
#2. Drink Water Before Any Meal- Not only will this keep your appetite suppressed, but it will ensure you don't over indulge on all of those company paid meals. There is nothing more inappropriate than someone who cannot stop from gorging on that prime rib a young professional normally cannot afford to buy themselves.
#3. Remember Your Manners- Don't get sloppy just because you are out of the workplace. You are still at a work function and professional etiquette applies. This includes dining etiquette, minimizing the drinks and keeping conversations to appropriate subjects. When you keep this etiquette you end up eating slower and in turn will eat less calories in a night. Do NOT speak with food in your mouth.
#4. Keep up your exercise routine- If you already have an exercise routine, stick to it! We tend to lax around this time of year. (And then of course the beginning of the year brings New Years Resolutions of health and exercise.) Try to be realistic. If you didn't exercise one day, don't beat yourself up, just make sure to keep your schedule the next day. Even a few push ups or sit ups right before bed counts.
