How to Stop Overeating during the Holidays

| How to Stop Overeating during the Holidays featured by top San Francisco life and style blog, Just Add Glam

From Thanksgiving to Christmas to Easter, it is hard to not overindulge during the holidays. While the focus on holidays is spending time and celebrating with family and friends, there’s no getting around the fact that food tends to take center stage. If you have given into temptation, all it takes is some smart choices and exercise to get detox from overeating during the holidays. Here are six tips for bouncing back after overindulging during the holidays.

How to Stop Overeating and Get Back on Track Over the Holidays

FAST FOR 24 HOURS WITH BONE BROTH TO RESET

Not only does homemade bone broth promote healthy skin, but it can also boost digestion. One of my favorite things about broth is that it’s easy to enjoy anytime: in the morning, when you’re sick, coming in from the cold, or when you’ve eaten a little too much and you want a reset to get yourself back on track. 

Check out this great recipe that is great for beginners because it uses a common roasting chicken and any combination of vegetables!

REKINDLE YOUR LOVE OF HEALTHY FOODS AND LIFESTYLE CHOICES

Believe me, I totally get why your grandma’s mac and cheese is too tempting to resist. However, after a day (or a few) of starchy/heavy foods, we sometimes forget just how much we actually like the more healthy choices! Hit your local grocery store or farmer’s market and plan out a deliciously healthy meal that you will enjoy cooking! If you’re dreading working out, call a friend and have them go with you! Even if working out feels like the last thing on your list you want to do, you’ll at least have someone to talk to!

START YOUR MORNING WITH A WORKOUT TO SET THE DAY OFF WITH HEALTHY INTENTIONS

If you’re really feeling the guilt and want to take action to detox from overeating, starting with a workout can set a positive tone for your whole day. Exercising in the morning jump starts your metabolism, and keeps it elevated for hours. Plus, it will feel great knowing you’ve already made an investment in your health first thing. Getting in a good workout can help banish those negative feelings of guilt and give you a boost in confidence that can carry you throughout your day.

Afterward, try my favorite post-workout green tea and chilled avocado soup! The mint in my usual green tea adds an extra kick of energy for me, and I love anything avocado so this soup is awesome served hot or chilled.  I can put this together in about 5 minutes or less so it’s definitely a quick meal for when you want to replenish and get a solid dose of antioxidants and vitamins.

DON’T BEAT YOURSELF UP ABOUT IT AND RECOMMIT AT THE NEXT MEAL

We’re human and it’s ok to live a little sometimes. Enjoy yourself and have fun during the holidays with family and friends, balance it out with some extra self-care, and let it go.  Wallowing in guilt will only delay your healthy lifestyle efforts—and may actually lead to more slip-ups. So, instead of getting down on yourself, just remember that you can make a choice with each day and with each meal! Make a pact with yourself that you’ll be kind to yourself and do better next time.

MAKE SURE YOU’RE UPPING YOUR WATER INTAKE, ESPECIALLY WITH DRINKING HOLIDAY COCKTAILS AND DRINKS

When you’re energy is low from having too much sugar, alcohol or otherwise delicious energy-sucking substances, it’s all too easy to reach for coffee or a soda to make it through the day. The problem is, things like caffeine and sugar can make you even more dehydrated than before. Drinking plenty of water is the key to warding off feelings of hunger and getting rid of post-holiday bloat, not to mention it’s good for your health in general. A trick I use is to drink one full glass of water before each meal and to carry a water bottle around with me. That way, you’ll have reminders during the day to stay hydrated and detox from overeating liquid calories!

GET RID OF TRIGGERS

What really tempts you? Is it candy, a decadent casserole or cake, or is it a sugary cocktail? Whatever it is, it will keep tempting you so it’s best to just simply remove it. None of us like to be wasteful and simply throw things away, so try to find a way to get rid of it sustainably like giving leftovers to family or friends or donating food that wasn’t used. It’s a great way to get those trigger foods out of your environment without adding extra guilt to your post-holiday plan.

    That is THE biggest thing about the holidays: FOOD! There are some years I just can’t help myself, and some years I can reign it in. Your tips are all great ideas!

    This is some really great advice on how to make sure that you still stick to your guns over the holidays. I tend to eat and eat when I am with family!

I think about this ALL. THE. TIME. ✨ I think about this ALL. THE. TIME. ✨
✨ Harrison Finnley Michaels 12/8/2019 ✨ Three ✨ Harrison Finnley Michaels 12/8/2019 ✨
Three months with this little guy and our worlds are rocked. He’s gone from just opening his eyes to rolling over, pushing himself up, grabbing at toys (and my phone as I type this out). He loves to laugh and talk in his baby language all day long 🤣 and sleeps all through the night 🙌🏼 How did we get so blessed with him?! @kmichaels216
Wedding Bells 💍 We are finally diving into some Wedding Bells 💍
We are finally diving into some wedding planning after our engagement last year and not going to lie, it’s overwhelming! We are super laid back and are looking for something small to celebrate. For me, this day isn’t about a big, fancy dress, or hundreds of guests to entertain. It’s about spending time with Kevin and I together committing our lives to one another. I was recommended to check out @shutterfly’s The Wedding Shop and mocked up an invite in this beautiful botanical print perfectly personalized to us and our style. Love our custom candle (smells so good!) and champagne flutes too! Check out my stories for more behind the scenes of unpacking our wedding items and some close ups! #MyShutterfly (ad)
CATCHING UP, what do you have going on this week? CATCHING UP, what do you have going on this week?
• This morning I had an eye exam to check my contacts / glasses Rx. I shared new glasses on Stories but turns out the Rx was wrong in them. I’m TRYING to wear my glasses more around the house and splurged on a pair from @ysl hoping that would help me do it 🤣🤓
• I haven’t been a big concealer wearer but I’ve been testing out the @urbandecaycosmetics naked concealer and have been liking how light it feels on my skin (I’m wearing it here, dress is new from @urbanoutfitters!)
• A work-related project this week—I’m trying to get my inbox of 700 emails down to zero. My problem is that I’ll get an email with some great piece of info in it and think “oh this is great! I can’t work on this right now but I’ll save for when I can” and I mark it unread. Well over time that has added up to 700 😬 I’m thinking of tackling it by sorting through and noting down whatever idea it is in my notebook (paper planner for LIFE! 📒) to reference it and have them all in one place. Maybe this will work!
• I’m currently sitting here watching this little baby sleep and the whole “I want to eat this baby” thing is SO REAL. What is it about babies where it makes us say that?!? He loves his @bibs_usa and @mushie_co!
• I’m considering cutting 3-4 inches from my hair....but here’s the kicker...I have this weird urge to DO IT MYSELF. Maybe I don’t want to put it off until I can get an appointment but I just want to cut it now. Please you guys, talk me out of doing this with scissors in the bathroom 🤣✂️
• Kevin and I have been binge watching @abcscandal and it’s SO ADDICTING. If you haven’t watched it, join us on Netflix but don’t blame me when you’re 2 episodes past your bedtime 😜 we are currently on season 4 of 7!
• WHAT ARE YOU UP TO THIS WEEK???
NEW MOM FASHION AND BEAUTY HACKS: 💁🏼‍♀️
1️⃣ Style your hair once ride that beautiful hair through the week with minimal effort. I use the @t3micro curling wand on day 1 fresh hair to put a little curl in it. On days 2-4 I use dry shampoo—my favorite is @livingproofinc to soak up oil, and then on days 5+ when dry shampoo doesn’t cut it anymore I throw on a cute beanie
2️⃣ Still trying to “bounce back” (whatever that means...) after baby? Same mama, same. @spanx leather-look leggings suck it all in and help as a postpartum support during healing. Win win!
3️⃣ Duster coats are the ONLY thing I want to wear. Not only do they keep you cozy as we wait for spring, but having pockets is NECESSARY for me. Phone in one, pacifier in another, and whatever other random things I need to bring with me when my arms are full with a baby
4️⃣ Lots of undereye concealer for that 8 hours of sleep look. @tartecosmetics shape tape is a favorite but I’ve been testing out @urbandecaycosmetics stay naked concealer and really like it for more natural coverage
MAMAS, WEIGH IN: What are you mom fashion and beauty hacks?! #newmomhacks
Our morning walk ritual ☺️ It’s still been a Our morning walk ritual ☺️
It’s still been a bit chilly out in the mornings but that doesn’t stop us from bundling up (in matching hats no less!) and going for a walk around our neighborhood. Baby carrying is a wonderful thing once you get the hang of it! I love how it gives you a bit of a workout with the added weight of a baby (Harrison is 11lbs now!) and gives them a chance to look around with a different view than the stroller. I can’t wait until he’s big enough to be front facing and then he can really look out at the world. I’ve been using the @nuna_usa @potterybarnkids CUDL carrier (this fabric is the broken arrow caviar) and my favorite feature are the magnetic clips that automatically snap into place to hold baby snugly. #lovemypbk
