My second holiday eating tip is another tried and true method for maintaining your level of fitness and physique during the holiday season. Drop carbohydrates prior to your planned feast. This is a great way to insure any carbohydrates consumed in excess are not stored and later converted to excess body fat. To implement this practice successfully let me give you an example of my own schedule. I have a christmas dinner planned for christmas evening that is sunday evening so starting the prior monday I drastically slash the amount of carbohydrates I consume some where in the area of 0.5 grams per pound of body weight this I do from monday to wednesday. Starting thursday I slash the carbohydrate intake even more to about 0.25 grams per pound of bodyweight until sunday. This insures that I will actually need the feast I will be gorging on sunday evening to prevent my metabolism from dropping too low and remaining in this stalled manner with this method you will actually turn an unhealthy dinner into a fat-burning enhancement.
