For many women, it’s always hard to stay in shape from the months of December through February because of the festivities. From Christmas to New Year’s Eve celebrations to Chinese New Year and Valentine’s Day, it takes a steely determination not to over-indulge in all the good food during the celebrations.
With all these festivities ongoing almost back-to-back, you may find it hard to exercise and get enough sleep. A lack of exercise and sleep deprivation are the bane to weight gain. But fret not. With a little determination and discipline, it is possible to shed the unwanted pounds piled up over the last few months.
Here are some simple tips:
1. Be Mindful Of Your Food Portion
Size does matter – the smaller it is, the better it will be
for weight loss. If you usually chow down a plate of rice with three pieces of
chicken, reduce the portion to a quarter plate of rice and one piece of
chicken. Better yet, forget about the rice and eat more vegetables and protein
to satiate your hunger. Stay away from the fried stuff.
2. Consider Wearing
a Body Shaper
Find the best affordable body shaper to help
you in your battle of the bulge. Big meals will make you feel uncomfortable
when your midsection is under compression from the body shaper. With a waist
trainer or body shaper, you’ll likely feel more comfortable eating smaller
meals rather than large ones.

3. Be Active And
Move More
Keep yourself fit and trim by aiming for 10,000 steps a
day. If you do not have the time to do ‘proper exercise’, you can incorporate more
steps into your daily life such as walking the stairs, doing housework, getting
off one bus/train stop earlier, walking to the shops instead of driving, and
much more. All these activities will burn
more calories, keep the metabolic rate ramped up and get your heart rate up
every day. Whether you’re working at the office or at home, get up and move
around for every half an hour of chair time.
Sedentary time is related to excess weight, independent of physical
activity level.
If you’re a plus size, try wearing a plus size waist trainer
when you exercise as the compression makes your muscles work harder and burns
more calories.
Daily activities such as walks around the neighborhood or mopping
the house can help you burn calories while wearing your waist trainer.

4. Drink lots of water
When you don’t drink enough water, your body is unable to
correctly tell the difference between dehydration and actual hunger pangs. Your thirst can sometimes be masked by hunger
pangs, leading to unwanted snacking when you could simply fix it with a glass
or two of plain water. The next time
hunger pangs strike, try drinking water.
5. Exercise
It is easier and faster to reach your weight-loss goals if
you make an effort to exercise regularly. According to the Mayo Clinic, to lose
weight or maintain weight loss, up to 300 minutes of moderate physical activity
a week is needed, which averages to about 60 minutes per session, five days a
week. Wear a light-control waist trainer during your workout sessions as it
will help you sweat more, especially around your waist area. With that extra
sweat, you will lose some water weight and calories.
I hope these tips help you to get rid of some pounds after all the binging during the recent festivities. When worn sensibly along with the above tips, your waist trainer or high compression shapewear can safely help you achieve your everyday body-shaping goals.
