Avoid Weight Gain During Holidays, SoonFasting Nutritionists Provide Proven Tips to Help

Health experts at SoonFasting provide advice on how to avoid gaining weight and stay on track with personal weight loss goals during the holiday and festive season.

With a festive aura all around, the holidays are just upon us. Every year, people are generally used to gaining some extra weight during the holiday and festive season. But there are ways to enjoy holidays without putting on unwanted weight, according to health expert at SoonFasting, an app that serves as an assistant that accompanies users on the intermittent fasting journey.

"The end of the year means gathering with friends, families, and colleagues, and delicious meals, always made up of carb-laden or fatty food, are essential parts of the celebration. This custom leads to difficulties for people to stay fit, especially for those who have set up weight-loss plans but turn to drop up during this time because of frequent holiday treats, busy schedules, and end-year stress," explained Laura Bryan, registered nutritionist and health expert at SoonFasting.

"Our team members have researched in the idea of finding practical tactics to avoid holiday weight gain without reducing holiday joy over Christmas and the new year," Laura added. "And we are glad to share these insights and tips to help people stay on track without taking a detour on the journey to fitness and a healthier lifestyle."

Tips to avoid holiday weight gain

Plan ahead. Before starting holiday gatherings, it is helpful to know how many calories you should consume. Knowing the maximum calories in a day can help you control your overall intake and enjoy food before reaching your upper limits. Bringing some healthy snacks like protein bars and nuts can also help stabilize blood sugar levels and prevent getting too hungry or eating too much.

Stay Active (like go for walks after meals). Increasing physical activity during holidays is a good way to counteract the extra calories you might be consuming. The added activity doesn't have to be intensive exercise because it is much harder to exercise this time of the year. Just do your best to stay on track with movement to keep yourself feeling energized and motivated.

Practice mindful eating. It is not recommended to conduct strict dieting during this time. Instead, utilizing this time to release stress, enjoy the connection with your loved ones, and experience the comforts of home is good for your health, both physically and psychologically. To reduce calorie intake, you can start by slowing down while you eat and staying mindful of what you are eating.

Get plenty of sleep. It is important to get adequate sleep because many studies have shown that sleep deprivation can lead to weight gain. People who stay up late tend to eat late at night and gain extra pounds. Be sure to get good rest during the holidays.

Use intermittent fasting. You can also try the "body hack" during this time of the year. For one, you can try fast the day before the big meal and let your body stay in the status with a slight deficit of calories, which will act as a buffer to possible overeat. Also, you can try to stick to a 16:8 intermittent fasting to help boost your caloric needs and eat whatever you want as you enter the bigger meals.

Use a fasting tracker to help

Intermittent fasting is a weight loss and weight management method with a pattern of eating that involves cycling between periods of eating and fasting. There are several different approaches to intermittent fasting, but one of the most common is the 16:8 method, in which you eat during an 8-hour window and then fast for the remaining 16 hours of the day.

Other approaches to intermittent fasting include the 5:2 diet, in which you eat normally for 5 days of the week and restrict calorie intake to 500-600 calories on the other 2 nonconsecutive days, and the alternate-day fasting method, in which you alternate between days of eating normally and days of restricted calorie intake.

"There are several potential health benefits associated with intermittent fasting, including weight loss, improved insulin sensitivity, and reduced inflammation," explained Ellen Chen, Operations Director at SoonFasting. "If you'd like to try out or stick to an intermittent fasting plan, SoonFasting's tailored fasting and meal plans can definitely help."
