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!

#ad Anyone else tired of constantly wiping down th #ad Anyone else tired of constantly wiping down their kitchen?!? 😅 I might as well keep a cleaner in my hand at all times since cleaning up after my toddler and baby is a full-time job! I’ve been looking to make the switch to a refillable cleaning product and found the NEW @clorox Multi-Purpose Refillable Cleaner @Target…it’s perfect! I love this as a more sustainable option since it uses 80% less plastic waste* and when I'm out, I just need to buy the concentrate vs. a full bottle which means less shipping costs too! This bleach free cleaner gets all the sticky messes and handprints off all my surfaces—counters, floors, highchairs, etc. Just refill, reload, & reuse! Buy now from Target! #CloroxRefillableCleaners *By replacing thirty Clorox 16 fl oz spray cleaners.

I’ve been living in this jersey maxi dress and tie day sweater from @walmart, it’s been so comfortable to wear on transitional spring days where it’s warm one second and then raining the next (swipe right 👉🏻) they come in a bunch of colors and can’t beat that price 🙌🏻 Sharing more on stories how i like to tie it up for wearing outside of the house too #ad #walmart #walmartfashion @shop.ltk #liketkit https://liketk.it/3DaOZ
We have been having so much fun on our extended tr We have been having so much fun on our extended trip at the beach house in 30A! I was so nervous packing  for two kids on this trip (6 suitcases later…) so I leaned in on @walmart to help me out by ordering our baby essentials to the house in advance. We arrived to our stock of diapers, pull ups, wipes, formula, apple sauce pouches, etc…everything we needed! I also ordered the boys some cute outfits, OBSESSED with these hoodie sets and love the colors, and my maxi dress too! I’ve linked all our outfits and baby favorites via @Shop.LTK for you to shop here https://liketk.it/3AKkL #WalmartBaby #liketkit AD
#BotanicalOriginPartner I am OBSESSED with optimiz #BotanicalOriginPartner I am OBSESSED with optimizing my life to be more efficient, (gotta be time-wise with two kids, multiple businesses, and getting it all done!). Amazon Subscribe and Save is my best bud for ordering our essentials to the house and we just swapped our laundry detergent to @botanicalorigin. This stuff smells so fresh, (I order the orange blossom & citrus leaves scent) but the best part about it is it removes tough the toughest stains like: wine 🍷, spaghetti sauce 🍝 (my stain nemesis!!!), chocolate 🍫, mustard 🌭, makeup foundation 💋(OMG!!!!!!), ink 🖊, oil and bacon grease 🥓… basically everything that ruins our family’s clothes. It’s plant based (67% USDA Biobased), for sensitive skin and is also aesthetically pleasing 🥰 , which is perfect as I’m trying to make this corner of our garage more organized. Peep my stories to see more about our new laundry detergent but also the rest of the garage 😂😬🤪 #BotanicalOriginPartner #ElevateYourClean  @botanicalorigin

It’s been a total labor of love and that includes finding last minutes deals online for things that are backordered, not arriving in time, or that just didn’t work out! Thankfully I’m shopping the @retailmenot Daylight Savings event (now through 3/20) to save extra on my purchases from favorite retailers like @homedepot and @michaelscraftstore! Swipe through the carousel to see some of our progress this weekend including our @samsung appliances we saved 10% on! 👉🏻🌊☀️ad
