Ep 17. 5 Tactics to Get Through the Holidays without Compromising Your Favorite Foods
Description
Worried about holiday weight gain or losing your progress this season? You don’t have to give up Halloween candy, Thanksgiving dessert, or your favorite holiday foods to keep making progress on your body composition goals. In this episode of Rooted Radiance, Nicole shares 5 realistic tactics for enjoying the holidays while staying on track with fat loss and lean muscle.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why strength training and building lean muscle mass matter more than restriction during the holidays
- How to check if you’re actually progressing in your workouts, with reps, weight, tempo, and training at 1-2 reps in reserve (RIR)
- How to handle temptation at the office, at home, and around your kids’ Halloween candy
- How to fit treats into a calorie deficit with portion control instead of banning foods
- Why logging your food builds awareness (not guilt), and how added sugar can crowd out nutrient-dense foods
- How to stop the all-or-nothing cycle after you indulge, and why one treat won’t stall your progress but your habits will
If you’re a woman working on fat loss, body recomposition, or sustainable weight loss and feel anxious about Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, this episode gives you a simple plan for eating the foods you love without derailing your goals.
