Merry Christmas From Houston Weight Loss Surgery Center!

The holidays are a big challenge for eaters. Over-indulging in rich food, decadent deserts and large quantities of alcohol is very common around this time. What can you do if you are trying to maintain your weight?

First, enjoy your time. The holidays are meant to be a happy time and eating is one the great pleasures in life. We shouldn’t stress about food too much. “Eat what you want on the holidays but eat it more slowly and drink it more slowly than what you ordinarily would”, said Michael Pollan. Enjoy the food you are consuming with friends and family. After all it is not about quantities and excess calories but rather few savory bites you share with others.

The bariatric experts at Houston Weight Loss Surgery Center invite to be conscious and aware of what and how much you eat this holiday season. Count your calories and increase your activity. Take a walk after your meals or do some Yoga in the morning and you will feel much better. Remember the poor and those who are hungry this season. Give some of your food to needy people in your local community. You will feel lighter, happier and less stressed. Give thanks and you will be more satisfied than stuffing yourself with large quantities of food. Practice mindful eating and have a wonderful holiday season and happy new year!!
