Party Without Paying In Pounds

(ARA) - Holiday music is playing. Laughter fills the room. Your waistband tightens, and you’re still in the foyer by the lighted tree. The host ushers you in and your eyes zero in on the buffet.

It’s the table you hate to love -- filled with cheese blintzes, shortbread, glazed nuts and crab puffs. Then you spot the deadliest of all -- fudge. The pep talk you gave yourself an hour earlier turns into gibberish, and you head straight for the fudge and drill into it like a rivet.

Take heart. You can prepare for the holiday temptation and train for the buffet marathon before you start the race. What’s more, you can reach the finish line without paying by the pound at the end.

The first rule of thumb is never go to a party on an empty stomach thinking the cocktail buffet is your meal for the day. This can make you succumb to the entire spread.

Despite what many think, making a meal out of party food can leave you feeling as empty as when you arrived. That’s because party food is no substitute for good nutrition. It is a quick fix akin to lighting a sparkler. The flash gives instant gratification, but there is no fuel to sustain the afterglow.

So, don’t deprive yourself all day to make a withdrawal from the calorie bank at night. Starving yourself slows your metabolism, causing you to store fat, not lose it.

Instead, replace a meal or two with an all-natural high quality protein drink, such as Almased, a multi-protein powder that, when mixed with liquid, makes a tasty shake. The protein enters your blood stream quickly, stopping that hungry feeling and giving you the energy you need to hit the party circuit and the dance floor, too.

The unique protein blend of soy and skim milk yogurt powder fermented with raw honey enzymes can keep your hunger alarm from sounding off and sending you unarmed into to the battle of the bulge.

Studies show the average person gains nearly one pound during each holiday season. That’s the good news. It’s a little less than a pound, not the five pounds people think they gain around the holidays. The bad news is that weight stays on, so it’s a pound this year, a pound next year, and another pound the next year . . . until you’re 10 or 20 pounds heavier.

So think of Almased as your ultimate holiday survival kit. Armed with Almased and the following tips, you can still partake of the holiday ritual, because you are less likely to gorge and pay the price on the scales.
