It can be easy to gain weight during the holidays—especially all the calorie-laden food, drinks and reduced activity. Temptation may be in full effect, but the good news is, the diet and body sculpting tips below can help you combat weight gain and still indulge here and there.

1. Step up Your Game

Don’t wait for the New Year—now is the time to step up your diet, dry brushing and No Lipo Lipo body sculpting regimens to help maintain your weight. Let yourself indulge in moderation at special events, but eat a clean diet the rest of the time. Follow our dry brushing and No Lipo Lipo body sculpting programs to help you look and feel your best. Both boost your lymphatic system, which flushes the toxins from your body.

2. Start Your Day Right

Eat a healthy, protein-rich breakfast in the morning to fill you up and fuel your day. Then go for a run, hit the gym or head to your favorite exercise class. Studies show that morning workouts help you stay on track the rest of the day. Try to exercise as many days as possible, even if you have to get up early. It will help you burn off some of the excess calories and reduce holiday stress.

3. Don’t Arrive on an Empty Stomach

Don’t skip meals so that you can overeat at that party or holiday meal you’re going to. When you go somewhere on an empty stomach, you will eat many more calories than if you eat normally throughout the day. Eat small but healthy meals and have a protein or fiber-packed snack before you go anywhere, even to the mall.

4. Use Smaller Plates

An excellent way to control your portions is to use smaller plates. Don’t hit the spread with a large entrée plate and fill it up. Instead, take a salad or appetizer plate and eat slowly. Give your stomach time to signal your brain that you’re not hungry anymore. Chances are you won’t need to go back for seconds and won’t miss the larger servings.

5. Be Selective

Depriving yourself can backfire, so indulge in a few of your holiday favorites—but only the items you really enjoy. If fruitcake isn’t one of your favorites, don’t have a piece of just because it’s there. Opt for a few tastes of your favorite dishes in moderation and call it a day.

While the holidays are packed with temptation, weight gain can be avoided this time of year. In fact, some of my clients who do No Lipo Lipo body sculpting treatments lose weight during the Christmas and Hanukkah seasons! If that’s the track you want to be on, follow my holiday diet and body sculpting tips below.

1. Be the Host

One of the best ways to ensure there will be some healthy options on the menu is to host the big holiday meal or party yourself. Mix up the traditional dishes with low carb options and toss up a big healthy salad to start with.

2. Bring a Healthy Dish

If you can’t be the host, then offer to bring a healthy dish. At least you know there will be one option that you can enjoy guilt-free.

3. Don’t Go Anywhere on an Empty Stomach

If you arrive at a party hungry, you will probably overeat. Have a light but filling snack about a half an hour before you arrive so that you won’t lose control at the buffet table. Choose something with protein or fiber to rev your metabolism and keep your digestive system busy.

4. Only Hit the Spread Once

Eat slowly and only fill your plate once. Tempting as seconds may be, they really should be avoided. It takes your stomach around 20 minutes to let your brain know that it’s full. If you eat slowly enough you’ll be too full to think about seconds.

5. Hydrate Properly

Proper hydration flushes the toxins from your system, fills you up and helps your skin glow. Drink lots of water and tea throughout your day and at your holiday festivities. Add lemon or ginger for added health benefits.

6. Avoid Leftovers

Give away all your leftovers. You don’t need to be faced with temptation every single day until the New Year rolls around.

7. Do No Lipo Lipo

One of the best ways to keep your body looking its very best is to do No Lipo Lipo body sculpting treatments, It will boost your lymphatic system, lift and tighten your skin, and boost your weight loss efforts.

Even though the holidays are over, winter is still in effect—even for those of us in Southern California. Winter weather can be harsh for our skin, which means we need to step up our skin care programs. Add these winter skin care tips to your regimen to boost the effects of facial exercises and protect your skin from the elements.

1. Tweak Your Exfoliation Routine

Sloughing away dead skin cells is extra important during winter months. Find a gentle but effective exfoliation product like Face Lift to Go  to remove dulling dead skin and help speed up skin cell regeneration. For best results, do Face Lift to Go every week.

2. Dry Brush Daily

Help promote the shedding of dead skin cells from your body by dry brushing every day. It also boosts circulation which makes your skin glow.

3. Cool it Down

As great as a hot bath or shower feels this time of year, hot water wreaks havoc on our skin. It strips the skin of its natural oils, which sets the stage for serious dryness and weakens the dermis’ natural protective barrier. Wash your face and take showers with lukewarm water.

4. Moisturize Your Face and Hands

Low humidity coupled with colder temperatures can draw moisture away from the skin, leaving it dry, tight and extra sensitive. Keep your skin moisturized with rich products like my Ultra Hyaluronic Cream, which attracts moisture.

5. Enhance Body Lotion

The skin on your body is just as susceptible to dryness this time of year. Increase the potency of your lotion by adding a rich emollient oil like my Nourishing E Oil to it. Your skin will be softer and more supple.

6. Pat it Dry

When you get out of the shower, don’t wipe away the water. Instead, dab at the excess water and lock the moisture in with lotion, oil or moisturizer immediately. You only have about three minutes to take advantage of post-shower hydration.
