Quick Tips For Managing Your Food Intake Over The Holiday Season

Eat Slower To Eat Less
Wolfing down meals may be enough to nearly double a person's risk of being overweight according to Japanese research suggests. Put you fork down between mouthfuls. Put your sandwich back on your plate between mouthfuls. Thin people often do this automatically. The rest of us have to learn it.

Snacks
Keep healthy snacks at the front of the fridge or cupboard. Put unhealthy snacks at the back of the cupboard or fridge. Put them in plain dark containers. Snack from a plate, not the packet -- it is easy to feel you should finish the packet. Put what you need on a plate, and put the rest of the pack out of sight.

Party Eating & Drinking
When you go to a party, socialise away from the area where the food and drink are. That way you are likely to eat and drink less and enjoy the party more.

Clean Your Teeth More
Keep a toothbrush handy and clean your teeth with a strong minty toothpaste. This can help reduce your need for sweet food.

Drink More Water
Water fills you up and makes you feel less hungry.

Don't Give Up!
Eaten food you shouldn't? That doesn't make you a bad or weak person. Just accept what's happened and get back to eating healthily.

Get Some Help
Self-hypnosis CDs can help the will power and herb and mineral supplements can help dramatically reduce cravings. It may be too late now to get these in place for the holiday season, but get yourself organized to have that bit of extra support in the new year. Will power is not always enough.
