Tips to Boost Your Metabolism Before the Big Holiday Feast

It’s the final countdown…

To Christmas, that is! Only 11 more days until Santa packs up his sleigh to deliver the goods!

Too bad he can’t deliver 6 pack abs in his big red bag, right?

The holidays are hectic – between buying gifts and planning family visits, it can be easy to let our health fall to the wayside a bit and indulge in all the comforting treats of the season.

Don’t worry, this isn’t a post telling you not to enjoy any of the stuffing and gravy.

Today, we’re going to share with you how you can boost your metabolism BEFORE the holiday eating begins.

That’s right, you can get your body ready to ingest and burn those calories even quicker to avoid the post-holiday bloat.

However, when you starve yourself, your body is holding onto fat rather than burning it in order to fuel the body. And that’s the fat that ain’t going anywhere.

Eating smaller, frequent meals keeps you satisfied, alert, energetic, and prevents you from losing self-control and doubling up on portion sizes.

Drink Up

When your body is dehydrated, your metabolism slows down.

Plus, most of the time when you feel like you’re hungry, you’re actually just dehydrated. Next time you feel the tummy grumbles, opt for a tall glass of water and see if you suddenly feel satisfied.
