How to Stabilize - Not GAIN -
|
We are here for you as the Holidays approach! We've heard so many difficult stories of clients gaining / regaining weight over the last 9 months! Stay at Home orders, working from home, remote schooling, isolation, stress and even low-grade depression! We get it! We can't remember a more challenging time for those of us on weight loss and maintenance journeys. And it's about to get even harder, though. Even in a normal year, it's common for people to gain a significant amount of weight between Halloween and New Years Day. Between stress and temptation, the pounds tend to pile on. If you've already gained the dreaded 'COVID-15' (or 20!?), it may be headed for 20 - 25 by the end of the year! Don’t' let this happen to you! Below we offer tips to stabilize and prevent weight gain - whether or not you're on our weight loss or maintenance protocols, your own plan or nothing at all. Even if you've drifted away from a focus on weight loss altogether, we think you'll find this list helpful so you at least avoid going backwards!

Our Top 8 Tips to AVOID |
![]() |
1. MAKE A GAME PLAN AND STICK TO IT Of course we think the best plan is to be on the Evolve180 Weight Loss Protocol or Maintenance. But even if you're on nothing at all right now, an intentional plan will help! Make a plan, minimize temptations, and stay focused. 2. PREPARE FOR EVENTS 3. MINIMIZE TEMPTATION |
4. CHECK IN WITH SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS If you're not on Protocol or any plan, enlist a supportive family member or friend to keep you accountable. Tell them your plan for sticking to healthier choices during the Holidays. Give them permission and ask them to check in each week to see how you're doing. |

5. ADD VEGGIES
Fill half your plate at each meal with salad greens and non-starchy veggies! Lean on the "unlimited" veggies to fill you up and keep you satiated. Getting 4 cups on non-starchy veggies a day helps keep you full, focused and feeling good about your choices!
6. AVOID ALCOHOL
Remember, even low-carb alcohol choices add up! Plus it can be much more difficult to make healthy choices about your eating when you drink. If you do drink, follow the guidelines on the "Alcohol on Evolve180" guide.
7. USE SUBSTITUTES |
8. BRING YOUR OWN TREAT |
