10 Tips for Avoiding Weight Gain Over the Holidays
1. Don't skip meals: It can be tempting to skip meals in anticipation of a big holiday feast, but this can actually make you more likely to overeat later. Instead, try to stick to your regular meal schedule and make sure you are fueling your body with nourishing foods throughout the day.
2. Choose your indulgences wisely: It's okay to enjoy the occasional indulgence, but try to focus on the treats that are most meaningful to you. This way, you can enjoy them without feeling like you're missing out on something else.
3. Stay active: Incorporating physical activity into your daily routine can help you burn off extra calories and keep your metabolism revved up. Try to fit in some form of exercise, whether it's a walk with a friend or a workout at the gym, on a regular basis.
4. Be mindful of portion sizes: It's easy to overdo it on high-calorie foods, especially when they are served in large portions. Be mindful of your portions and try to eat slowly, paying attention to your hunger and fullness cues. PROTEIN
5. Don't beat yourself up: It's okay to indulge in your favourite holiday foods, and it's important to be kind to yourself if you do overdo it. Remember that it's about balance and moderation, and try to get back on track with healthy eating habits as soon as possible.
6. Keep healthy snacks on hand: Stock your pantry and refrigerator with healthy snack options, such as nuts, seeds, fruits, and vegetables, so that you have something to munch on when you're feeling hungry between meals.
7. Stay hydrated: Proper hydration is important for maintaining energy levels and preventing fatigue. Fatigue often leads to poor choices. Make sure you are drinking enough fluids, especially water, throughout the day.
8. Plan ahead: If you know you'll be attending a party or gathering, try to eat a healthy snack beforehand so that you're less likely to overindulge.
9. Bring a healthy dish to share: If you're attending a potluck or party, consider bringing a healthy dish to share. This way, you'll have at least one healthy option to choose from.
10. Don't go to parties hungry: Make sure you're well-fed before you head to a holiday party or gathering. This can help you resist the temptation to overindulge on unhealthy foods.Support the show

Welcome to another episode of the In-situ Collective podcast! Today, we had the pleasure of chatting with Bradley, someone whoâs new to the gym but is determined to make it stick this time around.

Bradley shares that his main focus this time is on strength and fitness, with muscle hypertrophy as a byproduct. He also highlights the support from the In-situ community as a game changerâwhether itâs advice on nutrition, form, or injury prevention, the familiar faces, PT guidance, podcasts, events, and challenges have made a real impact on his journey.
We dive into some burning questions, like whether cardio should be avoided on workout days, if you should increase weight when not reaching failure, and whether weighing your food is necessary if youâre eating healthy. We also discuss whether itâs better to eat less healthy earlier in the day or more nutritious meals later, ideal wait times between sets, and if you really need to follow a programâs exercise order.
