Food is the cornerstone of the holiday season. It brings friends and family together to share memories, cultural traditions, and great flavors.

From Figgy pudding to fruit cake, many foods may bring on the holiday cheer — or in some cases, leave a foul taste in your mouth!

Some of the foods that are considered a normal part of a proper holiday feast in various regions of the world might seem downright strange to many of you listening, but it’s good to remember we all have our own special holiday traditions and customs. One man’s ‘Lutefisk’ is another man’s ‘Tangyuan’.  ;)

So whether you find the foods on this list delicious, or revolting, let’s have fun exploring these holiday food customs from around the globe together!  J

Here are 10 unique holiday foods enjoyed around the world.

But if you’re trying to lose or maintain your weight, a holiday season packed with food laden festivities might fill your heart not just with joy, but with fear!

Your concerns are valid ones, but luckily, finding comfort and joy this holiday season (in regard to your weight loss efforts at least), can be simpler than it may seem!

What you need…. IS A PLAN!!

What is Accountability, Exactly?

You probably have an idea of what accountability is, but here’s a refresher for you:

“Accountability is the acknowledgment of responsibility for your actions with the obligation to report, explain, and be responsible for the resulting consequences.”

Essentially, accountability keeps you consistent by having you report back to someone what you’re successfully–or unsuccessfully–doing with your diet and exercise regimen.

What makes accountability so powerful is that it doesn't matter how little motivation you may have to do something!  If you know that there is someone, or multiple someones, expecting you to report back to them, chances are, you’ll get it done.

At its core, accountability creates consistency, and if you aren't consistent, you'll never reach your goals of losing fat and building a lean, healthy body.

So, the next logical question is this:

How can we create accountability for better consistency towards achieving our weight loss goals?

When you're trying to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight that resulted from a hard-fought weight loss battle, willpower alone often isn't enough to keep you on track.

And even when you think you're maintaining your goal weight, it's all too easy for a few pounds to creep back on.

Here are Ten proven tools that can help you maintain accountability to the one person who really matters — you!
