The party season is approaching and soon we’ll find ourselves celebrating the winter holidays. The bad thing is that after the party season your scale might show you that you have gained a few extra pound.

Here is what you can do to avoid gaining weight:

1. Joining a formal healthy eating forum/club
Support is a great thing when you are trying to cope with your bad habits. Join a forum or a club where you will meet more people who have decided to improve their health. Share your ideas and recipes, listen to other and find out if there are any hints and tips that might help you in the future. Regular weight checks will motivate you to compete and seek better results. Besides, there will always be an expert who will recommend you the best eating plan designed specially for you.

2. Hidden calories
Take into consideration the fact that whatever you eat influences your weight loss or weight gain. Your main meals can sometimes be followed by snacks. Do you count them? The problem is that most of snacks such as potato crisps, candies and cookies are high in calories yet do not provide any nutrients. Limits the amount of these products and replace them with nuts, seeds, dried fruits or vegetables.
