How do we diet during the holidays?
2007 October 15
iVillage UK has some common sense diet tips. We all know a lot of these, but it doesn’t hurt to review from time to time, especially a few weeks into a diet when focus and discipline begin to wane:
- Plan Ahead (I’m not doing a good job with this.)
- Choose wisely
- Drink a glass of water
- Sugar free gum (I’ve not tried this – has anyone tried gum? Perhaps just to have that chewing sensation?)
- Stock up on dried fruits (You favorites?)
- Out of sight, out of mind
- Watch the alcohol
- Be ruthless
- Make your own
- Don’t waste calories
Really, these are great tips as you head into the holiday season – Halloween, Thanksgiving, and all of those Christmas parties. Planning and discipline will be the key to getting all of us through this time.

oh oh oh I did the bubble gum diet a few years back… lol
loved it but my jaw was so soar and it kinda gave me a headache after a while. other than that the chewing sensation was really good for me.
I think alot of calories are taken in via alchohol. Most people do not even realise how many. So avoiding this is a big help
