If calendars had a place for calorie counting, what would November and December look like for you? If you are like most, food is an important part of the holiday season. Whether your taste runs to old traditions or to something new, it’s easy for normal eating patterns to take a backseat at this time of year. With the average weight gain being anywhere from 2 to 9 pounds over the holiday season, this accelerated weight gain can be a real concern. The extra pounds accumulated over the holiday months can stick around year after year, contributing to health problems such as obesity, diabetes, or high blood pressure. It is crucial to figure out what factors contribute to this weight gain and have a personal plan to successfully battle these unwanted pounds. Simple changes in behavior can have enormous benefits after the holidays have passed.

So what are you going to do differently this year so you can continue to achieve your fitness goals?  Whether you are motivated to get through the season just maintaining your weight, or even striving to be a few pounds down, it is essential to be prepared for the social pressures that may break your willpower. Kristen Bell will be hosting an hour-long seminar that will give you all the strategies you need to battle these challenges and leave those undesirable, excess pounds for Santa.

It IS possible to avoid putting on extra weight with the right plan so you still look and feel healthy without depriving yourself of all the holiday treats and festivities. Kristen will discuss how to implement a clean eating plan and how to budget for those food and drinks that you look forward to all year long.  She will also be sharing some of her favorite meal and recipe ideas, tricks to make food taste great with half the calories, and most importantly, get you motivated and encouraged to have the right mindset to make this holiday season the most successful yet!
