Do you love holidays, but hate the increase in weight that follows? You are not alone. Holidays are times for splendid meals and celebrating, especially with the traditional cultural foods.

With proper planning, though, it is possible to maintain normal weight during the holidays. The idea is to enjoy the holidays and think in terms of moderation (节制). Whether it is celebrating at the office party or sitting down for the traditional family dinner, approach eating as a time for tasting or sampling a variety of foods. Here are some tips to carry you through the round of celebrations and your social calendar without feeling having done wrong.

Set realistic goals. Unless you have special dietary needs there are no forbidden foods. Don't turn down the foods you enjoy, but be sensible.

Before you leave home, have a small, low - fat meal or snake. This can help you to avoid eating or drinking much. Use as mall, luncheon-size plate and avoid the large ones that may encourage you to “load up”. You should be most comfortable eating an amount of food about the size of your fist. Once you have had your “tasting” serving, move away from the dining room. Doing so will make it easy to stop yourself eating constantly at the sight of food.

Eat slowly and fill up beforehand with clear soup and raw fruit or vegetables and fruit in a yogurt dressing rather that cream and cheese sauces. You can also frink a large glass of water before you eat to help you feel full.

If you have a sweet tooth, try mints, hard candies, and fruits. These don't have the fat content of creamy desserts and chocolate.

Avoid high - fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy may have a generous amount of fat. Choose lean meats. Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables.

Don’t let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20-minute walk after sa meal can help burn off extra calories.

The students’ answers 23 from 20g to 500g.
“It does not matter on the absolute 24 . It depends on how 25 you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for a(n) 26 , I will have an ache in my right arm.
