2. Drink Plenty of Water
• Water is essential to all bodily systems.
• Water is good for the skin. It can help
prevent sagging skin because of weight
loss.
• Drink half your body weight in ounces of
water each day. E.g., if you weigh 180,
then drink 90 ounces of water in a day.
• Bring water whereever you go, in a 2-liter
bottle.
• Avoid the sodas as they contain
sweeteners that are high in calories or
affect your blood sugar.
• Mix frozen peeled limes & lemons to add
flavor and get a serving of fruit!

3. Avoid Holiday Overeating & Junk Food
• Nearly every holiday has become
associated with large meals, candy and
alcoholic beverages in some way.
• At the office: bring healthy snacks to
avoid candy. Focus on socializing at
office parties instead of eating.
• At home: Don't stand in the kitchen
near the food. Eat normally for
breakfast & lunch.
• Don't put off your healthy habits until
after the holiday; start them now and
stick to them!

4. Tips on Cocktails
• Speaking of alcoholic beverages, an
ounce of 100-proof liquor has 80
calories; whereas 80-proof liquor only
has 65.
• Avoid frozen drinks--they can have as
many calories as a dessert.
• Choose flavor-infused vodka over a
mixed drink to avoid the added sugar
and calories.
• Alternate between non-alcoholic juice
or water and alcoholic beverages to stay
hydrated and save calories.
• Make a wine spritzer by mixing wine
with soda water.

5. Some Odd-But-Effective Tips
• Drink water or eat soup before your
meal.
• Eat with your non-dominant hand to
give your body time to tell you when it
is full.
• When you feel full, stop and pour salt,
pepper or ketchup onto your food to
make it unappealing to continue.
• Keep a picture of yourself at you most
overweight by the refrigerator as a
reminder.
• Wear tight clothes so you'll be
encouraged to fit in them.

6. Fat-Burning Foods
• Peppers - capsaicin can help burn 100
calories a day!
• Green tea - 3 cups can burn 30 calories
a day. Green tea extract is in
Accelerator+!
• Eggs - egg whites boost metabolism &
eating your fats in the morning adjusts
your circadian rhythm to burn fat the
rest of the day.
• Portabella mushrooms - copper &
pantothenic acid keep metabolism up &
potassium gets rid of salt bloat.

7. Helpful Tips
• Do not eat aspartame (Equal, etc.) - it
blocks a hormone seratonin that
controls food cravings.
• Do not eat after 7:30 p.m. unless it's a
protein snack for low blood sugar.
• Your first meal of the day should be
rich in protein to stimulate glucagon
which burns fat.
• Eat slowly to enjoy your food & not
overeat.
• If you must enjoy alcohol, do so
sparingly and not every day. Alcohol
lowers metabolism.

8. More Helpful Tips
• Eat two cups of vegetables a day. They
fill you up & the fiber helps flush out
toxins.
• Try to go sugar-free certain days.
• Again, drink half your body weight in
ounces of water each day.
• Don't starve yourself - it causes your
body to go into fat-storing mode!

9. Festive Weight Loss Tips
• A little champagne can actually help:
ingredients in grape skins help blood flow.
• If you have some chocolates, go for the
dark chocolate - cocoa has powerful
antioxidants.
• Remember: moderation is key in the above!
• Planning a festive dinner? Start with a salad
with brightly-colored ingredients such as
tomatoes, carrots & dark green spinach.
Main course: try ocean-caught fish, high in
Omega-3.
• Dessert: dark-chocolate covered
strawberries.

10. Healthy Snacks to Stay Slim
• Protein bars - shoot for 20g carbs
maximum
• Greek yogurt - fat free, can be as low
as 80 calories
• No sugar added peanut butter &
natural grape or strawberry preserves
• Rice cakes with the above
• Cranberries & walnuts or almonds for
an energy boost
• Mandarin orange, Romaine lettuce,
walnuts, vinaigrette, grilled meat
make a great salad.
• Oatmeal for complex carbohydrates

11. More Healthy Snacks
• Sugar-free gum - don't overdo it!
• 100-calorie snack packs
• Tuna packets with relish - 80-100
calories & up to 20g protein!
• Grapefruit - lowers insulin,
cholesterol, triglycerides, has
fiber and antioxidants, helps in
weight loss
• Avoid soda pop! Sugar is the
main culprit, but there are other
risks.

12. Power Foods
• Spinach & beets - Vitamin C
• Tomatoes & olive oil - antioxidants
• Beef & carrots - beef: protein &
zinc (helps immune system);
carrots: Vitamin A. The protein in
beef helps absorption of Vitamin A.
• Green tea & lemon - green tea has
antioxidants that the lemon
increases absorotion of by 13X
• Garlic & fish - garlic is good for the
heart; fish reduces cholesterol. The
two together can act as an anti-
inflammatory agent.

13. More Power Foods
• Red meats & rosemary - rosemary has
antioxidants rosemarinic acid &
carnosic acid which absorb red meat's
age-advancing free radicals.
• Orange juice & oatmeal - both contain
phenols that stabilize cholesterol
levels when eaten together.
• Apples & red wine - apples contain
anti-inflammatory flavonoid quercetin;
red wine contains catechin. Together
they can help prevent blood clots &
improve cardiovascular functioning.

14. Still More Power Foods
• Blueberries & grapes - packed
with antioxidants that when
consumed together have a
greater effect than each
separately.
• Nuts, seeds & dried fruit -
high in protein and ease
digestion.

15. Avoid Eating Late
• A study of 52 adults showed that people who
ate after eight at night had higher overall BMI
(body mass index) than those who did not.
• It did not matter that those who ate late had
the same amount of calories as those who
didn't!
