All year we promote health and fitness. We teach healthy nutrition habits, create fitness programs that generate above expected results and create a safe, fun environment to achieve the goals you've set for yourself.
Even with ten months of guidelines and structure each year a hand full of clients, members and group exercise enthusiasts fall victim to the glitz and glamor of the holiday season.
So, rather than deny it, cover it up and act as if it never happens. I've decided to hit it straight on in an attempt to help you achieve your short term goal of over indulgence.
Here are 8 sure fire ways to gain at least 10 pounds in the next month and a half.
1. Over indulge in alcohol
Drink and be Merry! Consuming alcohol is a great way to ingest large quantities of sugar and calories with little or no effort. Plus, there are added benefits of the next morning hang over. And don't forget the greasy breakfast that is required after a night of drinking.
Sugar has 7 calories per gram, which is twice the amount of protein and carbohydrates. This can sky rocket your caloric intake and you won't even realize it. For some serious poundage, drink alcohol frequently and add fruit juice or a carbonated beverage.
(We are not endorsing drinking and driving! You can be safe and gain weight effectively without putting others at risk!)
2. Don't eat the day of a holiday party
You want to look slim in your party outfit, so you avoid eating all day making yourself ravenous. Make sure you start the party off with some cocktails and appetizers, specially the fried appetizers. Make sure you eat a bit healthy by grabbing raw vegetables and coating them in dip. Now socialize by the dessert table, making it very convenient to reach for that extra cookie, brownie or chocolate.
3. Skip meals
Ideally, you want to make the most of you holiday meal, so go ahead and skip breakfast and lunch. This way you can consume your daily caloric intake in one sitting. And remember, since you're so hungry make sure you eat extra fast that way you can consume more food before you feel full.
4. Avoid the vegetable tables and go straight for the desserts
This is a given. Stay away from anything that is green, unless it's green icing on cookies or a cake! Vegetables will destroy your chances of real weight gain. The desserts are where it's at. Consume as many as possible. Be sure to take a doggie bag home with you for a late night snack.
5. Don't make time for fitness
You've worked out all year. Forget working out. There's no time, right? With parties and shopping and parties and shopping (I meant to write that twice) who has time for working out? We can pick up working out again at the first of the year.
Hey, that's a great New Year's resolution!
6. Avoid extra movement. Better yet, lay around a lot!
Working out is definitely out, but make sure you don't do any extra physical activity either. This could increase burning calories. If weight gain is truly the goal, sit as much as possible. Stay sedentary long enough and that lower back pain you once had, yeah it will come back too! That's an added bonus to following this program.
7. Definitely Ignore the "Rule of 3"
Starchy carb, Fibrous carb, Lean protein blah, blah, blah. It worked all year, but not in November and December. Go back to the way you ate before you were introduced to the "Rule of Three." This will add pounds on faster and more efficiently than ever before.
8. Don't drink water
Georgia's in a drought so make sure you conserve water. Don't drink it. Drink plenty of sodas, beer and wine instead. And remember to order the largest flavored coffee you can find, with extra whip cream! Pumpkin Spice lattes at Starbucks work great!
There you have it. The true straight forward, no nonsense plan to guaranteed weight gain over the holiday's. Follow this and you'll definitely have the desired outcome you're looking for.
We hope you enjoyed this alternative to the everyday weight loss report. For those of you who don't want to gain weight over the holiday season, take these 8 tips and reverse them.
Have a safe, relaxing and fun holiday season!
