　　The holidays are about family and many other things depending on what your family believes.They are also about turkey,ham,pumpkin pies,apple pies and so much more.So,how do you keep from eating too much and gaining too much weight during the holidays?

　　Make a plan for what you'll eat.

　　While there is absolutely no reason to try to lose weight during the holidays,it is possible to attempt not to gain any excess weight during the holidays.The key is to map your eating schedule out.Don't overeat,but still enjoy the holidays.If you know you will be eating at two different places within a few hours,eat small amounts at both.

　　You can still enjoy all of your favourite holiday foods,simply cut back on your serving sizes so that you can enjoy them all.There are a ton of tasty foods to eat,but that doesn't mean you can't cut back on how many pumpkin pies you eat!

　　Do things to beat stress.

　　The holidays can be stressful.Stress can release cortisol(皮质醇) in your body,which is one of those things that add to weight gain.That is why it is important to do things that help you beat stress during the holiday season.Take up yoga or just take some time out of every day to relax.

　　Don't let the holidays interrupt your workout.

　　Another great way to beat stress is to keep up your fitness routine during the holidays.Sure,the holidays are a busy time,but you just need to get creative about them.

　　When you're doing your Christmas shopping power walk(暴走) through the malls and department stores,you'll get some good cardio(有氧运动) and you'll raise your heart rate,which means your brain will be triggered to release some endorphins,which are happy hormones and help lift your mood.

　　Don't let the holidays add to your waistline.Instead,be in control and you will make it through the holidays without excess weight you'll have to work off next year.
