Diet Temptations: the 3 Fats of Christmas That Add Pounds to Your Waistline

During normal days, being on a diet takes discipline and commitment. When holiday season hits – following a diet plan to lose weight can feel like a constant struggle to control yourself around an endless variety of temptingly delicious food and beverages.

Holiday time is the one time of year when being on a diet is such a drag. You could be going along fine and steadily losing weight then – BAM! Thanksgiving hits and for the next six weeks you’re dealing with invitations to eat holiday meals, attending various parties where yummy cookies, cakes and fudge will be on display, watching restaurant commercials that show sumptuous meals, and walking by generous amounts of tantalizing candy every time you go shopping.

It’s enough to make any dieter throw up their hands in surrender. The 3 fats of Christmas are diet temptations that you will surely have to deal with in order to get through the holiday season.

Festive Drinks – eggnog, spiced rum, hot toddies, hot chocolate or coffee with whipped cream, anything with Kahlua or Irish Cream in it can pack on the calories. This category is a tough one because a glass of eggnog or a hot toddie seems so warm and inviting. They are, but they’re also loaded with cream, sugar, and alcohol, which are all laden with calories.

If you decide to indulge in these types of drinks, limit yourself to one – and eliminate a fatty food item from the food category. For example: choose either that glass of spiced rum, or, that piece of cake. Another option is to choose only low calorie drinks like soda water, plain water or tea.

Sweets – chocolate fudge, Christmas cookies, chocolate truffles, chocolate assortment, butterscotch fudge, cheesecake, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, breakfast pastry, red velvet cake, chocolate trifle, plum pudding and candy canes. Whew! If you enjoy candy and sweets in their many forms, this is your worst diet nightmare.

Even if you don’t eat a bite, you’ll have to sit there and watch others enjoy their sweet, gooey morsels. The trick is not to deprive yourself completely of sweets. Allow yourself to take one piece of pie – not the biggest slice. One cookie. One piece of fudge. One truffle, etc. This means select one item only per meal/party/gathering.

Holiday Dinner – If you’ve been used to having low calorie dinners as part of your diet, attending a traditional holiday meal is going to be challenging for you. People usually go all out when it comes to the holiday food menu. That means lots of turkey with gravy, glazed ham, roast duck, stuffing, potatoes, creamy salads, breads, butter and sauces.

While you can’t refuse to eat – that would be rude. You can make sure you select the healthiest choices, like fresh salad greens, beans and white meat. Give yourself small portions and do not go back for seconds. A great tip is to drink one or two glasses of water before the meal. This will help to fill your stomach up and prevent you from overeating.

Stay strong this holiday season and do not give in to the fattening temptations all around you. You’re on a diet for a good reason so you cannot allow yourself to get off track now. Every time you’re tempted to overindulge, just close your eyes and imagine yourself at your ideal weight next holiday season. This will keep you motivated to stick with your healthy eating plan.

Irish Breakfast Black Tea, Box of 20 foil tea bags: K $3.23 The Irish have always been great tea drinkers. They drink their tea brewed very strong. In fact, there is a common saying among the Irish that a proper cup of tea should be ''''strong enough for a mouse to trot on''''. Irish Breakfast, with its robust flavor, is usually enjoyed only in the morning (except for the Irish who drink it all day). Usually it is blended with an Assam tea base. Assam is a district in northeastern India that lies on the Indian-Burmese border. It produces more black tea than any other area on earth, with the probable exception of a few places in China. Assam’s tea gardens cover some four hundred thousand acres of verdant rolling plains on both sides of the mighty Brahmaputra River. Assam is proof that not all fine quality tea has to be high grown. This rainy valley is the birthplace of Indian tea. Robert Bruce discovered the plant growing wild here in 1823, and the first commercial lot of tea ever produced outside of China--eight chests in all--came from Assam in 1839. For our Irish breakfast tea, we use high quality, full bodied, robust Assam teas. The resulting blend is a dark brown tippy leaf that brews up a deep red liquor that is hearty, malty and rich in flavor. This tea is delicious with milk and sugar.
