Do you love the holidays, but hate the increase (增加) in weight (体重) that follows? You are not alone.
　　Holidays are happy days with pleasure and delicious foods. But many people are worried about the weight that comes with these delicious foods.
　　With proper (合适的) planning, it is possible to control your weight. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don’t have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy. The following advice may be of some help to you.
　　Do not miss meals. Before you leave home for a party, have a small, low-fat meal or fast food. This may help you to keep you from getting too excited before the delicious foods.
　　Begin with clear soup and fruit or vegetables. A large glass of water before you eat may help you feel full. Use a small plate; a large plate may make you eat more than enough.
　　Better not have high-fat foods. Choose lean (瘦的) meats. Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables.
　　If you have a sweet tooth, try mints (薄荷) and fruits. They do not have fat like cream and chocolate.
　　Don’t let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20-minute walk after a meal can help you burn off excess calories (多余的热量).
