I was at a big event last week and was reminded how important it is to have strategies
for this season of high-calorie parties and busy schedules. But I get ticked off
by the tired old suggestions you find on the Internet or in magazines like Woman's
World.
Often the suggestions are lack any substance, because the writers don't want to
imply you actually have to make a sacrifice to succeed. They make fat loss sound
easy, as if all you had to do was park at the far end of the parking lot and you'd
burn all the calories from 5 shortbread cookies.
Well it doesn't work that way...So here are my politically
incorrect, unique Turbulence Training strategies to help you keep off the holiday
pounds.
By the way, I "borrowed" a few ideas from contestants in my
Turbulence Training Transformation Contest. The Transformation is rocking with social
support and success stories right now, even while the rest of the world struggles
with weight gain, these TT users are losing fat over the holidays.

Strategy #1 - Green Tea & Almonds
One of the most common tips you'll hear is to "fill up" before you go
to a party where there will be lots of goodies.
Unfortunately, most people I talk to have no luck with this tip. Most people still
go to a party and eat everything in sight.
But recently TT users have told me that having a cup of Green Tea and one ounce
of almonds has helped them avoid holiday cravings better than anything ever before.
The fiber from the almonds reduces appetite while the small amount of caffeine from
the Green Tea seems to increase mental alertness and keep you "energized"
at the party.
Hopefully that might work for you...
Strategy #2 - Don't waste your time on any fancy cardio programs
Listen, the bottom line over the holiday season is that your success depends almost
entirely on your nutrition.
You can't expect to hit the cardio confessional and burn off last
night's 2000 calorie smorgasboard. That's a 4-hour workout. Instead, don't get into
that situation in the first place.
Here are more nutrition tips:
- Focus on portion control (and if you have no discipline, forget
even trying to eat just one)
