Lots of folks don't think about what they eat over the holiday season until January, when they stare sadly at the number on the scale and then hurry off to hit the gym, join Weight Watchers or pick up the latest diet book.

It doesn't have to be that way. Health experts say you can still enjoy the holidays.

"It's OK to indulge(沉溺), but it doesn't mean you have to gain weight," said Karen Ansel, a New York-based registered dietitian and a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association (ADA). Jessica Crandall, a registered dietitian from Denver who's also an ADA spokeswoman, added that gaining weight during the holidays and then working hard to lose it again is not good for a person's body.

For starters, people interested in maintaining their weight during the holidays should keep eating on a regular schedule, the two dietitians said. Research has shown that people who skip meals -- particularly breakfast -- end up eating more throughout the day. "Try and stick to consistent meal times so you can avoid being overly hungry," Crandall said. "When you're overly hungry, you can make some bad decisions regarding what you eat. Don't starve yourself during the day waiting for that party at night -- because you'll eat too much or overeat."

Ansel suggests that you think now about the foods you really enjoy and plan to focus on those while eating less of more common fare.

Be careful, too, about alcohol intake, for a couple of reasons. Alcoholic drinks, particularly the fancy ones handed out at holiday time, tend to come loaded with calories. "It's usually what you're adding to a drink that contains the calories," Crandall said. Also, if you're drunk, you might forget to watch what you're eating. "It totally lowers your inhibitions(压抑)," Ansel said.

Other holiday eating tips, suggested by Crandall and Ansel, include:

?Eat lots of vegetables, and eat them first before moving on to the other items on your plate.

?Recognize that many holiday extras, like cheese or cranberry sauce, come loaded with calories. "If those aren't your favorite foods, don't put them on your plate," Crandall said.

?If your favorite food has a lot of calories, be sure to minimize your portion. "Two bites cure the craving," Crandall said. "After that, you're just really feeding your old habits.

?After a big holiday meal, don't sink into a chair or couch. Go for a walk outdoors or participate in some other activities that help burn off some of the calories you've just eaten.

  A spirit of adventure, curiosity about different cultures and the desire for a challenge can e found in young people everywhere.More and more students in China are backpacking around the country.

  According to the China Youth Travel Service, Hainan, Dalian, Zhangjiajie and Qingdao were among the most popular sports for young Chinese backpackers last year.Backpacking allows the traveler a greater sense of independence.

  “I can no longer put up with the instructions of a tourist guide,”said Huang Ye, a 19-year-old college student in Beijing.“They are always driving you to places that you do not want to go to and trying to make you buy local souvenirs.”

  Huang likes to travel as a backpacker.She prefers an independent trip that she took with two friends to Jiuzhaigou in Sichuan Province.There, they chose some scenic spots to visit and avoided the masses of tourists.

  Backpackers see the difficulties of such travel as a challenge.Living on bread and water for days on end, wearing the dame clothes over and over again and carrying a heavy bag on their backs while climbing a mountain are all character-building experiences.

  But perhaps the greatest challenge that a backpacker faces is not a physical one, but mental.They may face loneliness if they travel alone.

  Chen Xuewei, 21, suffered when he took off around China last year.“I felt very lonely at the beginning of my journey.A walkman didn’t make me feel better, but rather heightened the sense fo loneliness I felt.I even called up my friends to tell them that I wanted to give up and go back to Beijing,”he recalled.But he kept going.He started to make friends and appreciate the local customs.He took lots of photos to record his trip and now he is glad he stuck it out.

  Backpackers generally find themselves to be mature after their experiences.“Their travel logs(旅行日志)track their development as people.”“When I feel frustrated, I read my travel log again,”said Tang Weifeng, a postgraduate at Beijing University.“By reading it, I get a sense that I am better off now than I was when I wrote those words by the light of a torch.”
