Lose Weight This Winter with Healthy Honeybell Oranges
Nearly everyone has some unwanted pounds to deal with after the holidays, and Honeybell oranges can help get rid of them. Most people let themselves indulge during the holidays and eat more high calorie sweets like candy, chocolates, cookies, cakes and high fat sauces than they normally would. They also indulge in cocktails and drinks full of calories and fat like eggnog and hot chocolate. All of these treats only appear during the holidays so people think it’s ok to overdo it once a year. Once the holidays are over though it’s time to get back on a healthy eating regimen and lose those extra pounds.
The problem most people going back to a healthy diet after the holidays is that after weeks of eating whatever they like and gorging on rich treats normal healthy food seems bland and unappealing. The body can get used to refined sugars, extra calories, and lots of fat very quickly and you will end up craving those things once you’re not eating them anymore. Replacing some of those unhealthy snacks and treats with delicious Honeybell oranges will help you get past the cravings and get back on a healthy diet so you can lose weight.
Like holiday treats Honeybell oranges are only available once during the year, from late December to early February. They come in season just as the holidays are going out, so you can easily get them. Instead of reaching for a cookie or a piece of fudge or cake have a super sweet Honeybell orange. With only around 80 calories per fruit but the sweetness of a candy bar or cake they will satisfy your craving and leave you full until your next meal without costing you a lot of calories. Honeybell orange juice, like grapefruit juice, is the perfect breakfast drink because it’s packed with the nutrients your body and brain need to get the day started right.
Reducing calories, eating less refined sugar, and staying away from chocolate are all things you need to do in order to lose those holiday pounds. Start eating healthy Honeybells, grapefruits and oranges instead of cake, cookies, and chocolate. Start exercising at least thirty minutes per day, and cut your portion sizes in half. With just those simple steps you can start losing those holiday pounds and getting yourself back into a healthy routine so that by the time spring comes around you will be ready to wear all those great spring and summer clothes that never fit after the holidays.
