Everyone loves festivals. You eat good food, meet all of your friends and families and even get a holiday from work to fully enjoy your personal time and not have to worry about things. The only thing that gives people pause is the thought of facing the weighing scale after the festival season. Managing your weight and looking good might just make you put down that sweet you just picked up but if you keep these helpful tips in mind you might not have to.

An easy to execute tip that is often overlooked is to plan your holidays or festival celebrations around an activity. We all have a habit of sitting down and catching up with our friends during our favourite festivals. Instead if we worked activities like long walks or friendly games of tag with the children into our holiday activities we could get away without having to eat less. Stay active and encourage your friends and family to do the same.

Seconds can be a slippery slope that you might never return from. At a festival celebration everyone brings sweets and treats that they love and want everyone to try. Even with your own healthy options on the table you are sure to be faced with unhealthy temptations. Instead of fighting these you should decide on your portion sizes. Decide in advance that you will not indulge in seconds. This will not only keep your calories low but also help you truly enjoy and appreciate the single sweet. Overeating can ruin the fun just as much as denying yourself completely.

The tip we all need but never heed is to get plenty of rest. Studies show that a lack of sleep is a major cause of overeating. Being sleep deprived can also lead to an increase in stress levels and thus lead to stress eating. Inadequate sleep has also been linked to lower metabolism leading to a slower digestion process. Prioritize getting a good night’s sleep to gain control over your eating habits and better digestion.

Make every festival about the things that truly matter - spending quality time with our family and healthy eating.
