Here’s the trick, according to science: Don’t. Seriously though, people who eat and drink more than usual during the holidays gain weight. Womp womp womp. But! They also have fun. And can then [lose the weight](. Remember that. They can also limit the “damage” to a couple of pounds of fat gained (which can be lost in a couple of weeks of proper dieting), however. Here are eight tips that’ll help: 1. Focus on things other than food. Visit friends and family, shop and wrap presents, go for walks—make some memories that don’t center on food. 2. Create a calorie buffer before big dinners. Leave room for evening feasts by eating more or less nothing but protein throughout the day to stay full. And if that doesn’t sustain you, add in some fibrous fruits and vegetables like apples, oranges, carrots, or celery. 3. Limit snacking. It’s hard to eat far [more calories than you burn]( on just a couple of meals per day, but much easier if you add in several rounds of snacking. 4. Keep your protein intake up. The satiating effects of protein help manage the temptation to overeat, even when you’re surrounded by treats. 5. Stay active. Even a little activity every day helps to increase calorie burning, [reduce your appetite]( and boost your insulin sensitivity. Staying active also keeps you in the habit of moving and exercising, which makes it easier to resume your normal routine once the holidays are over. 6. Don’t go to parties hungry. Just a serving or two of protein before you surround yourself with a smorgasbord of sweets and savories can be enough to moderate your desire to eat everything in sight. 7. Drink alcohol in moderation. Binge drinking rapidly accelerates fat storage, but if you limit yourself to a few servings of tipple per day, you can mostly sidestep this [unwanted side effect of alcohol](. 8. Follow a meal plan to lose the fat you do end up gaining. A [good meal plan]( is like a GPS device for your diet—it takes all the guesswork out of what, how much, and when you should eat. So once the merrymaking is over, use it to dial your diet in for easy fat loss.
