The holiday season is upon us! And while this time of year can be joyous, it can also be stressful, especially if you’re trying to stick to a healthy eating plan. Rich holiday meals, decadent desserts, and festive party hors d’oeuvres can derail any diet, and you may find yourself needing more support than ever to resist temptation and stay on track. That’s why we’re kicking off the first annual South Beach Diet Holiday Survival Challenge. Here you can share your motivational tips, encourage other members to make healthy food choices, swap South Beach Diet-friendly holiday recipes, and win some exciting prizes, including an invitation to an exclusive teleconference with Dr. Agatston, the creator of the South Beach Diet. Here’s the scoop:
Three grand-prize winners will be invited to join us in an exclusive, private teleconference with Dr. Arthur Agatston! These winners will also receive a free month on the site, two weeks of free nutrition counseling, and a copy of The South Beach Diet Quick and Easy Cookbook.
How to participate: Simply post to this folder and tell us how you’re surviving the holiday season. How are you dealing with all the tempting foods? What are your best smart-eating strategies for parties? How are you squeezing in exercise during this busy time of year? How do you make your favorite holiday dessert South Beach Diet-friendly?
Each week for the next six weeks, we’ll give you an assignment to help you answer these questions, stay motivated, and help others stay motivated too. We encourage you to post as often as you can in our weekly challenge threads to be eligible to win. Winners will be chosen based on the quality and quantity of their posts when the contest ends on December 26, 2009. No pictures are required. We'll be posting the official Holiday Survival Challenge rules soon, so keep your eyes peeled for them!
We look forward to hearing more about your survival strategies this season, and how you manage to stay on track! Good luck, and happy holidays!
I am so relieved to get home from a business trip with my husband to find a Holiday Survival Challenge all ready to begin. I have been extraordinarily lax in my SBD living over the past year(!!!yes,year!!!). A Holiday Challenge is just what I need to grab my attention and get me back on the wagon. I recently purchased the SBD party and holiday cookbook and am excited to read the SBD take on some of my party favorites, as well as all the delicious looking recipes for dishes I haven't tried before. Just in time.
My weight is at an all-time high. Now may not seem like the right time to get back on track, but my resolve is getting stronger with each post I read. Thanks Buddies...here we go!
