014: Staying Healthy during the Holidays - a podcast by Spencer Coppin, Dai Manuel & Adam Hart
from 2016-12-13T08:00
Dai, Adam, and Spencer are calling from all over the world today as they enjoy their end-of-the-year holiday vacation. The guys discuss how to not gain a ridiculous amount of weight during the holidays, when there’s so much good food readily available. There’s nothing wrong with spending time with your family, and eating food! Just be a little bit mindful that this is a time to relax, and that there’s nothing wrong with that. Don’t let your daily routines slip by as you become busy with family obligations.
Key Takeaways:
[1:30] We tend to get set back, when we take a vacation for too long.
[2:45] Americans tend to gain between 3-7 pounds during the holidays.
[3:45] It’s tricky not gaining the pounds, because we want to let loose and spend time with friends/family.
[4:25] It’s okay to let loose, but how do we do it respectfully, where our bodies don’t end up suffering?
[6:00] Grab a smaller plate.
[6:25] Place the dessert beside you, so you know you need to not overstuff yourself on the main course.
[6:55] Eat with chopsticks…?
[8:15] Our lack of exercise during winter months probably plays more of a factor than ‘bad food’.
[10:10] Fast for 17 hours!
[10:35] Drink more water and fill your plate with green vegetables!
[11:15] Try to get 10,000 steps in a day.
[12:50] The first thing we push off to the side, is our health.
[15:15] Don’t restrict yourself, it’ll make you crazy, but just be mindful of the little things.
[17:20] It’s much easier to slowly incorporate habits into a busy lifestyle, than trying to reinvent yourself over night.
[18:25] Don’t forget to sign up to Dai’s holiday weight loss challenge!
[19:15] What are the guy’s thoughts on New Year's Resolutions?
[21:05] At the end of the day, it’s about making better choices, now, and following through with that, everyday.
