main drivers behind festive period weight gain are typically twofold: Increased food intake and reduced exercise. While the obvious solution for those watching their weight is to simply eat less and work out more, it can be hard to resist the temptation to indulge in.<\/p><p>According to Aidid, understanding the complexities of where your calories come from can make a huge difference in your consumption habits while celebrating.<\/p><p>\u201cSome foods may seem small and light on calories, but may in fact be packed with calories from the ingredients they contain,\u201d he advised.<\/p><p>Festive favourites like cakes and snacks, for instance, are often full of butter and sugar \u2013 both of which are incredibly calorically dense. Besides food, the fitness trainer also advises watching your liquid calories. Sweet drinks can make a big impact on weight gain, containing high amounts of sugar and being very easy to consume in large quantities. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/what-keeping-a-food-and-activity-diary-taught-me-about-my-overall-wellness\/\">Keeping track of your intake<\/a> can also help you keep the kilos off.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-dde1020 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"dde1020\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e4061ab\" data-id=\"e4061ab\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ddb1f5c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ddb1f5c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>TIP #2: THE MODERATION MINDSET<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ab3cd2b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"ab3cd2b\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-03073b3\" data-id=\"03073b3\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bd36462 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bd36462\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It\u2019s not a must to refuse every snack<em>\u00a0<\/em>that comes your way.

Once done, do not immediately take another serving, but wait for a while to allow your stomach to digest the food and to tell your body that you actually ate enough.\u201d<\/p><p>He adds that eating a light meal before heading off to any festive celebration can help you get full faster, lowering your overall calorie intake. Family members can also help one another cut calories amid the festivities.<\/p><p>\u201cIf your family members are the ones cooking, consider with healthier alternatives, or reducing the quantity of ingredients like salt and oil,\u201d shared Aidid.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a728709 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"a728709\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2b26c4a\" data-id=\"2b26c4a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c757749 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c757749\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>TIP #3: A POST-FESTIVITY DETOX<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c17caef elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"c17caef\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-005d968\" data-id=\"005d968\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9810c98 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9810c98\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1708\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/shutterstock_1806527077-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-28996\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/shutterstock_1806527077-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/shutterstock_1806527077-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/shutterstock_1806527077-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/shutterstock_1806527077-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/shutterstock_1806527077-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/shutterstock_1806527077-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/shutterstock_1806527077-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/shutterstock_1806527077-1980x1321.jpg 1980w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-234f8a5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"234f8a5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-372ddfe elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"372ddfe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Sometimes, the festive period will end and, despite your best efforts, you\u2019ve piled on the kilos.

He says that while one typically sees results in just a month, he recommends sticking it out and progressively improving for at least 3 to 4 months.<\/p><p>Of course, just like how you come together for festive celebrations, it never hurts to involve your family in your fitness journey.<\/p><p>\u201cSet a goal. Support one another. Share progress pictures. Motivate each other on both good and bad days. Change the lifestyle at home. Be more active together \u2013 that is how family members can influence not only themselves, but others around them to keep fit, get fit and manage their weight,\u201d he concluded.<\/p><p><em>Need a place to stay motivated?
