holiday drinks around limited edition drinks are out i get it but hey guys what's up welcome
back to my channel if you guys are new here welcome my name is caitlyn and in today's video
i'm gonna be sharing my tips with you guys on how to stay healthy during the holidays how to stay on
track because i know that it can be difficult especially this time of year so that's what
today's video is going to be about but before we get into the video if you guys are new here and
you guys would like to see more videos like this go ahead and hit that subscribe button
and don't forget to turn on that bell notification so you can get notified
every time that i post a new video and with all that being said let's get into the video so as
always we're just gonna jump straight into it so the first thing that you can do to help is to keep
unhealthy foods out of your house i know this seems like a no-brainer but
it's the truth so when i was at my parents house my mom had this really delicious popcorn from
costco and i found myself gravitating towards it every single day wanting more and more and more
and i probably ate more than i should have but i'm not going to keep that food in my house because
i don't need the temptation just sitting there for what why would i set myself up for failure
i could just not buy it i even walked past it in costco the other day and i was like oh
my gosh that looks so good but i don't need it because i know that that's just temptation so
i would rather resist the temptation at the store than resist the temptation in my house
so don't set yourself up for failure just don't buy it another thing that you can do that's going
to make you feel good is to take the long way when you get a chance for example if you're going to
the mall or you're going to the grocery store or you're going to target try to park as far away as
you can i know you want to get that up close front parking spot but for me i always try to park as
far away as i can when it's safe so i can get in those extra steps and when i'm leaving i also try
to leave my cart up at the front and take all my groceries with me so i got some extra added weight
on the way to my car and just get you know a good little exercise and it's only a couple minutes so
why not also another thing that you can do is when you have the opportunity to take the stairs take
the stairs i know most of the time there's like stairs and an escalator take the stairs
it's only a couple minutes out of your day yeah it may be slower but you're getting in more exercise
so just find little things like that i know they sound so like mundane and not like a big deal but
the little things make a big difference another thing that you can do to help you to stay on track
during the holidays is make sure that you get your veggies in i know that's not what you want to hear
but getting the right vitamins in will help you to just not feel like trash for me when i
don't get enough veggies in i definitely feel it i feel slow and sluggish and just gross
if you're just one of those people that hate veggies then please please season your vegetables
it will make a world of a difference it will help to bring out the natural flavors of the veggies
and it will just all around help it to taste better don't skip on the seasoning i don't like
bland veggies either so find a way to spruce it up season it up and make it taste better
so the next step i'm going to share with you guys you guys already know drink your water
it doesn't matter if it's regular water or sparkling water but make sure that you're
getting your water intake up because your body can actually confuse you and think that it's hungry
when you're actually just dehydrated and thirsty and you don't want to get to that point also some
people have said that sparkling water like la croix breaks your fast but i haven't experienced
any issues with it so don't overthink it it's just water just drink it and you'll be fine
another thing that's important and it's pretty overlooked is to take care of your gut health
this is important because it helps to regulate your digestion get everything on track good to
go so take care of your gut health you can help your gut health by eating high fiber foods and
make sure that you're moving your body and i've also found some other things that help so i found
this at whole foods but this is a prebiotic soda and it is by the brand poppi it says for a healthy
gut on it this is in the raspberry rose flavor and it actually has apple cider vinegar in it
and i know that sounds like it would just taste terrible i was pretty skeptical of it myself but
they're low-key addicting so i love them and they just make you feel like good after you
drink them i don't know how to describe it but my gut just like feels good when i drink them so
love these and then i also have one more thing another thing that's really going to help is this
tea this is a fasting tea this is the cinnamon herbal fasting tea it's good for digestion
support fasting support and calm and this was actually doctor formulated by dr jason fung
and he is a world leading expert on intermittent fasting so if you guys want to try this you guys
can use code caitlyn17 to save you some money i'll have it linked down in the description box below
so you can go ahead and try it out something else that's going to help you is to stop
drinking your calories holiday drinks are out limited edition drinks are out i get it
but you don't need to drink it all the time i think of these drinks as more of a treat
than an expectation don't think that only because it's a limited edition or a holiday drink that you
need to get your hands on it every single day and have it all the time it's still going to be there
next year you don't need to overdo it because for what your body is not a trash can you don't
need to just keep on having it because it's a limited edition that's what they want they make
it a limited edition on purpose so you'll keep on coming back and keep on getting more but you don't
need that for example you can easily get a holiday drink at starbucks 450 calories for one drink
the peppermint mocha in a grande 440 calories i'm not joking 440 calories for one grande drink
that's literally a waste of calories so limit yourself to having it as more of a treat and when
you do go and get the drink and treat yourself get the smaller size i don't care if they say oh well
it's cheaper to get the bigger size or it's 30 cents more or whatever your body's not a trash can
you don't need the bigger size like i said that peppermint mocha 440 calories in a grande and then
venti 540 calories that's an extra 100 calories 540 calories on one drink isn't worth it so if
you want to go that's fine just limit the amount of times that you have it get a smaller size when
you can because you can still enjoy those drinks just not all the time and last but not least kick
the shame out the door this is huge if you get off track be kind to yourself and move forward when
you're learning new habits you're not going to be perfect don't judge yourself for whatever happened
what you ate on a binge doesn't matter move forward from it and don't try to overcompensate
for it that's low-key punishing yourself and you don't want to do that i'm talking about
going on a cleanse saying you're not going to eat that day starving yourself all of those things
it's not necessary to punish yourself just move forward from it just eat meals that are full of
protein fat fiber so they're gonna help to keep you full you got this don't overthink it you're
gonna be fine i believe in you but that comes to the end of my video if you guys have any questions
