3 Steps to Get Back on Track After the Holidays



Why wait until the New Year to get back on track after the big holiday season?? You can still enjoy your New Year's Eve and the beginning of the new year, but get back on track now with your diet and exercise.

After gathering with friends and family through the holidays, you may have enjoyed your fair share of hearty food and sweet desserts, which is fine! 

But, if you are feeling a little lethargic and not like yourself after this holiday season, start your Monday and a new week off on the right track with these 3 healthy behaviors.


  1. Start Eating on a Schedule. Start each day with a nutritious breakfast and try to eat at least every three hours throughout the day. Starting your day with a healthy meal and keeping it going throughout the day will help maximize your metabolism, regulate your blood sugar and level out your appetite. 
  2. Drink more water. Not only does water help with your metabolism, but water helps flush out any excess sodium you may have in your body from holiday meals. Aim for about 8-10 cups of water each day, and keep this habit going!
  3. Cut back, but don't cut out carbohydrates. For your main meals, pair lean protein with veggies, healthy fat and a small serving of whole grains. Doing so will help to maintain your calorie-burning muscles rather than forcing your body to use protein for fuel.
