Ah – the holidays – a time of good cheer, getting together with friends and family and wading through a bountiful bonanza of tantalizing foods that can make your buttons burst just by thinking about them for too long. The holidays – which for all practical purposes now stretch from the end of October through the beginning of January – are often a time of strife for those trying to maintain or lose weight.
And why wouldn’t they be?
At what other time of year do all of the following happen within a 2 month time frame?
1) Complete strangers lavish you (and/or your kids and coworkers) with candy and ‘treats’.
2) We get together with family, friends and/or co-workers to ‘give thanks’ by stuffing ourselves with more food than we would normally eat in a week – AND, we often do it several times.
3) We ‘toast’ to the holidays and imbibe in libations that can or may contain hundreds or thousands of calories (can you say egg nog, brandy alexander, peppermint chocolate milkshake or spicy milk chocolate mocha?!)
4) We celebrate again (and again!) by eating more food than a pack of reindeer followed within days by staying up late, overindulging in alcohol or soft drinks and ringing in the new year by sitting on the couch watching sports (or recovering)..
It’s no wonder that the average person gains 5-8 pounds over the holidays.
And it doesn’t have to be that way.
Amino acid therapy can provide a very effective way to curb cravings and reduce your appetite at any time of year, but it can be especially effective during the holidays. Amino acid therapy works to help youeliminate cravings, so you aren’t so tempted to reach for those treats, sweets and drinks that can sabotage your weight loss efforts.
In addition, amino acid therapy can help curb binging behavior so you can enjoy just a few bites of your favorite holiday treats without feeling like you need to consume the whole bag, box, pan or blender full.
Lastly, amino acid therapy can help you reduce (and often eliminate) your appetite and feel full faster so you are much less likely to overstuff yourself during the many holiday parties and gatherings you are likely to encounter.
We have helped thousands of people improve their weight and their health using amino acid therapy andwe’d love to help you! Let’s enjoy the holidays and get the New Year off to a great (and lighter!) start by getting your neurotransmitters firing on all cylinders with properly balanced amino acid therapy.
