Amidst the holiday season, do you maintain your diet through the holidays or do you cheat? Especially over Thanksgiving, I found it difficult to "stay on track"... What methods do you use to overcome those holiday pounds?

if your keen on sweets and other treats wich I'm not, you just need to have a strong mind.

I would mantain my diet if :
- I'm trying to loose weight for the last couple months
- I'm getting ready for a contest

I would cheat if:
- I'm lean
- I don't care how I look/weight right now
- I'm dirty in the off-season
- hey it's actually a cheatmeal day ;)

I've never gained weight over the holiday period. I still enjoy snacks and good food, just I don't go nuts. Oh and I still tend to be active, even if I don't hit the weights.

totally agree. I dont understand what the deal is with gaining weight over the holidays. Eat like normal just have the holiday foods. I suppose there is a lot more sugar fat ect but cut back a bit on portion size and enjoy the foods and stay active.

Very true! And personally speaking, we go to a couple of different gatherings throughout the holiday and big elaborate meals are always served... so it's not just the contents of the food but the quantity too...

Hi All,
I don't cheat in holiday as I know I won't exercise much to burn calories.
I do cardio in off days and eat diet healthy but balanced diet.
