EAT BREAKFASTI I KNOW YOU WANT TO SKIP BREAKFAST TO SAVE TOTAL DAILY CALORIES INTAKE. BUT BY DOING THIS, YOU WILL ONLY SABOTAGE YOUR WEIGHT CONTROL GOALS. BY EATING A NUTRITIOUS, FILLING AND HEALTHY BREAKFAST, IT DOES NOT ONLY KICK START YOUR METABOLISM, BUT ALSO HELP YOU CONTROL CRAVING AND HUNGER WHICH LEADS TO POOR FOOD CHOICES AND BINGE EATING LATER ON DURING THE DAY. BUT MAKE SURE THEY ARE HEALTHY BREAKFAST SUCH AS GREEN SMOOTHIE, OATMEALS, FRUIT AND YOGURT SALAD, VEGGIE OMELET ETC. NO BACON EGG MUFFINS! Find more smoothie and breakfast recipes on my blog:

EXERCISE!Sorry guys, don’t think you can get away with this one. But all you need is 20 minutes a day! You can even break up into 2 10 minute sessions. Ensure you do both HIIT style of interval training, which is proven by science that burn tons of calorie in very short amount of time, and keeps your body in calorie burning mode hours after the exercise.

Also weight training to build muscles, we all know muscle burn more calories than fat, so you want pump up the iron to pump up your metabolism, so you can burn off more of what you eat without doing anything extra!

DRINK APPLE CIDER VINEGAR BEFORE EACH MEAL

Mix 1 tablespoon of organic apple cider vinegar with 1 glass of water (you can add 1 teaspoon of honey if you don’t like the taste) and drink just before each main meal. Apple cider vinegar does not only detox your organs and alkalize the body, it also curbs the appetite, makes you feel fuller faster.

START WITH A BOWL OF LEAFY SALAD

Before you going for the good stuff, have a plate of leafy salad first, just watch your dressing, balsamic vinegar with olive oil is always a good option. Avoid salad with heavy creamy dressings like those pasta salads we all love.

CHOOSE GRILLED OVER FRIED, AND SEAFOOD OVER MEAT

Seafood are high in protein and lower in calories than most meat. Just make sure they are fresh, raw, boiled, or lightly grilled, avoid the deep fried stuff. Of course you can have few slice of turkey and ham! What’s Xmas without turkey and ham! Just keep your portion in control, and ditch the gravy/sauces. Flavor with lemon, cayenne pepper, mixed herbs etc. They not only add flavor to your food, but also nutritious and boost your metabolism.

CHOOSE LOW SUGAR DESSERTSA Holiday meal isn’t complete without some dessert. They don’t need to be heavy sundaes, or Xmas puddings, or chocolate cake. Here are just some other healthier choices but also will hit the sweet spot.

• Fruit kebabs• Fruit dipped in dark chocolate• Yogurt berry parfait• Fruit pop sides

LOW-CAL ALCOHOL DRINKSDon’t you hate those health gurus who tells you to cut the booze? How is it a celebration without alcohol?! I’m even gonna bother tell you to stick to one or two, just pace yourself and choose healthier mixers and cocktails, go to low carb, preservative free beers. You can find a list of those beers on www.beerthebeautifultruth.com/

My favorite holiday healthy cocktails include• Vodka Cranberry (low sugar cranberry juice)• Whisky sour (half sugar)• Mojito (half sugar)• Champaign with orange juice (half half)• Wine with sparkling water• Tonic and soda water with few slices of

cucumber

DRINK A LOT OF TEA

Drink a lot of tea in-between food and alcoholic drink. This does not only hydrate your body, slow down the absorption of alcohol but also boost the metabolism and burn fat! Best options are green tea (full of anti-oxidant ECCC), Oolong tea (great to cut the grease from food) and peppermint tea (aid digestion).

DETOX AFTER HOLIDAY IS OVER!Ok, now the fine is over, you need a kick start to new year’s healthy resolution. A quick detox is the way to go. You don’t have to go on a water or juice only diet. Even just ditch alcohol, sugar, dairy, wheat and red meat for a week will make a big difference. After a week, your weight should be back to pre-holiday weight, and you will feel much more energetic.

Of course if you want to kick-up a notch, go for a juice fast, this can be anywhere between 3 days to 2 weeks. The Organifi Green juice mix is a cheap and convenient way to do the juice diet. No need for blender, buying 10 different organic veggies and fruit. Just mix with water and your good to go!
