Put this on your fridge for December (holiday tips)

Hi {NAME}, I’m going to cut right to the chase with this email. How do you survive the holidays with all kinds of good food and drinks? I’ve put together a list of TEN things that you can keep in mind. Print this out, put it on your fridge (or something) so that you can remind yourself every time you open the fridge to squirt that whipped cream directly in your mouth from the can 🙂 - Try to eat your highest fat and most caloric meal in the morning. This means higher fat, higher protein for breakfast. I’m personally a big fan of steak and eggs or a "joe’s scramble" ground elk or bison along with 4 eggs. A bigger, protein rich breakfast often leads to less calories consumed during the day. - Make a simple rule for yourself. Every time you snack on something (good or bad) drop and do either 10 pushups or 25 squats. Sounds like punishment? Well, in a way it is, but it’s more about sucking up the glucose (or nutrients if it was a good snack) into your muscles and out of the blood stream. - If you indulge in alcohol, have electrolytes after consuming (or even use them as a mixer). We’re starting to see research that alcohol affects satiety signals, but also activates reward centers in the brain that make you want to consume sugary things. By having some salty drinks, you help curb that. I use [LMNT]( and here is a link to some of their new chocolate flavors with only 5 calories: [( that link also gets you a free variety pack of flavors with purchase. - Treats After a workout: Look, I am human. I like pumpkin pie. If you’re going to indulge, at least have it right after a workout. It’s not great, but it’s better than having it at any other time of day. At least after a workout, you have some precautionary damage control working in your favor. The post workout response will help you with dealing with excess glucose. - Try, just TRY to do a cold plunge a couple times per week. A bath with cold water works too. Is this pseudoscience weird stuff…. Kinda… lol… But the research is showing that the one thing a cold plunge does is help with resetting dopamine a bit. So it can help you with impulse control in the off times. - Egg Nog is a Trap - If you’re going to practice fasting. I would rather you fast AFTER a bigger meal, versus before. Either situation can be messy and create bad habits, but fasting and then eating junk is NEVER good. - If you’re craving sweet things, try blueberries or raspberries first (organic), and if that doesn’t work, try mixing up some [LMNT electrolytes again]( they can hit the NST neurons in the hindbrain and help me kill cravings stat! - You’re allowed 3 bowls of ice cream this month - 3X Per Week Full Body resistance training (we want full body to zap up more carbs in this case), 3x per week 30-45 minute zone 3 cardio (about 65% max heart rate, should be able to carry a conversation). Get a head start on the new year, trust me, you’ll thank me later. I have a million other things I could share, if you want more, can you do me a favor a leave a comment on my next youtube video saying you want more holiday content/tips? Let’s make it a good holiday and climb out of the whacky past couple of years 🙂 Thomas Sent to: {EMAIL} [Unsubscribe]( Thomas DeLauer, PO Box 1120, Stateline, NV 89449, United States
