Healthy (pre) Holiday How-To's
Every year at this time we face the same challenges - holiday parties around every corner, the sweets seem to come out of the woodwork, and who has time for exercise? No wonder people tend to gain weight. However, you can use the tools of the HMR Program to get through this holiday season with your weight (and health) in check. Try these on for size:
- Step up your servings of vegetables and fruits
- Stay full at every meal by adding additional vegetables to your plate.
- Take fruits with you whenever you leave the house to help you steer clear of holiday sweets. - More " More Is Better"
- Add in 1-2 extra shakes a day to keep you full.
- Consider making a double when you typically make a single shake. (Try adding a couple drops of peppermint extract into your hot chocolate shake for a great holiday drink!)
- Double up on HMR Entrees on weekends. Try a new combo, like Beef Stroganoff with Noodles and Mushroom Risotto on top of a generous serving of broccoli or spinach. - Get physical activity in. Be Creative!
- Consider indoor PA on bad-weather days, like stair-climbing inside, doing an exercise DVD or cable TV workout.
- Briskly walk a few laps around the inside perimeter of the mall before you begin shopping.
- Exercise first thing in the morning. You'll be able to check PA off your list before anything gets in the way. - Track it. You'll do more.
- It only takes a few seconds a day to keep up with your record keeping, but the payoff is huge. You're more likely to stay on track and do more of the healthy behaviors to help you through this time of year. - Attend for more coaching.
- Data has shown that you'll practice more of the healthy behaviors of the Triple Imperative® when you get help from your health educator. Keep attending class. With the hectic pace of the holiday season, it's more important than ever to make your weekly attendance a priority. (P.S. Ask about our special 2010 Attendance Challenge! You could win some great incentives just for coming to class!)

News from The Gap™
This feature of the newsletter highlights some of the outrageous calorie examples confronting us today. Although The Gap makes weight and health management more challenging, the support of the HMR Program can help you to achieve your goals in the face of these obstacles.
Step aside, mega-sized burgers... the restaurant chain Friendly's, has taken the burger to a whole new level with a beef patty, lettuce, tomato, and mayo served between two grilled cheese sandwiches. There's nothing friendly about this "Ultimate Grilled Cheese Burger Melt "with 1,500 calories, 97 grams of fat, and 2,090 mg sodium.
For 1,500 calories, you could eat all day long (and feel more full!) with 4 HMR Shakes, 3 entrees, and 5 servings of vegetables and fruits. HMR's low-fat, nutritious foods are a no-brainer for health-friendly meals and snacks. Use them to help keep you out of The Gap™. |
Move Over Paula Dean!
Are friends curious about your HMR foods? Consider inviting them over to your house for an HMR food demo! Sandi B. tried this, and said "We had such a great time! We sampled a smoothie with HMR 70+ Chocolate and red cherries, an HMR Lasagna entree baked with spinach, zucchini and tomatoes, and we finished off the demo with a peach cobbler made with the HMR Multigrain Hot Cereal." (See recipe below.) "They especially liked the Root Beer Freeze made with diet root beer soda and the vanilla shake. All in all, they sampled 8 recipes made with shakes, multigrain hot cereal, and entrees. We had so much fun, and it was a great way to introduce my friends to HMR."
Consider hosting your own healthy "pre-holiday party" for friends who want to avoid seasonal weight gain. (And be sure to ask us about our referral incentive if someone you know buys a kit or ends up joining the program.) |
