The holidays are the worst time to think about dieting but if you don't you may pack on five to fifteen unwanted pounds before the New Year.

One way to look at it would be, "What the heck, I'll just start another diet the first of the year and I'll drop the extra pounds then".

The key word here is another because again, you need another diet because you don't know how to eat.

How about just eating sensibly for once in your life. Do you really need two pieces of pie? Do you have to eat every cookie you can reach? You have to do something to prevent yourself from stuffing your face over the holidays.

First thing you can try is to talk a lot. Not that anyone would want to listen to what you are saying. It's hard to shove one chocolate chip cookie after another into your pie hole while you are talking. Talk all night, nobody is listening anyway and it will keep you from eating all of those treats just sitting there looking all pretty and flashing their eyelashes at you.

Another thing to do to keep your lips busy is kissing. Trying to eat while you are French kissing would be tough to do. Nobody will want kiss you anyway so let's forget this idea.

Be really self conscious. Don't you know that everyone is looking at you all of the time. They are counting how many hor dourves you are eating. Oh yes they are. And the cookies. "Oh my gosh, how many is he or she going to eat", they are saying behind your back. Remember, the whole world is watching so eat like a normal person for once.

And, do you really have to bring food home. You didn't make it. You certainly didn't pay for it. Bring it home and you will eat every last bit. Of course, only after you devoured the food you have at home already. Why not just leave with your hands in your pocket and surprise your host.

And another great tip is to get loaded. If you can, get drunk fast and pass out on the couch as soon as you can. They will wake you up when everything is put away and you can get up and go home and jump in bed. You can go through the whole night without eating a thing. But of course you have to deal with the calories from the booze so before you leave for the party, take a couple of Valiums. If you don't have any Valium, call your doctor and tell him you are real anxious and nervous and you think you are having a break down. He will write you a script just to get rid of you. If you take the Valium, you won't have to drink as much to pass out. Booze calorie problem solved.

The best tip is just stay home. No one wants you over anyway. Only have a can of beans, a bottle of water and a carrot around the house. Heck, not only will you not eat like a horse as usual, but you might even lose a couple.

You probably know this already, low calorie diets to not work. Yeah, I know, millions of people are using about a million different low calorie diets, how can that be true?
Just look around. How many people do you see out there on low calorie diets are actually losing weight? The answer is very, very few and I'll tell you why.

Once your body figures out you are eating less, it puts the brakes on your metabolism and you start burning FEWER calories. You see, your body is pretty smart and it doesn't want to starve. If you have lowered you caloric intake and only lost a pound or two then promptly gained it back, or you didn't lose anything at all, you have a very smart body. The good news is, you will never starve. That's great news unless you are trying to lose.

What you need to do is get on a Calorie Shifting diet. This method confuses your body so much, that you will actually start burning more calories every day. You will turn into a fat burning blast furnace.
