Survive the holidays without gaining weight by avoiding these foods. Tips and suggestions on how you can avoid gaining weight during the holidays.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. 

   Avoid Cranberry Sauce. Save yourself the extra calories as one serving of cranberry sauce contains 21 grams of sugar. If you must indulge this holiday season, keep your portion sizes to just one teaspoon.

2. 

   Also avoid eggnog. Sure it is delicious and a favorite holiday tradition in most households, but eggnog can really make you gain weight. Eggnog contains 21 grams of sugar per serving and even the "lite" eggnog can reap havoc on your diet. Steer clear of eggnog if you'd like to maintain or lose weight this holiday season.

3. 

   Lay off the margarine. Margarine is stuffed with hydrogenated oils which age the cells of the body and make us gain weight. If you'd like to be trim and thin this season, limit your margarine intake and watch your body shed body fat.

4. 

   Lastly, try not to nibble on dried fruits. Dried fruits contain high sugar levels which spike your insulin levels. Instead, try consuming regular fruit or sliced low fat cheese for a healthier holiday snack.
