Enjoy this holiday season with a few tips to keep you happy, healthy, and on track!
Eat before you go:
Enjoy a balanced snack before going to your holiday gatherings to prevent overeating.
Start with veggies:
During the meal, fill up on veggies first and leave the higher-calorie foods until the end.
Remember your ‘why’:
Don’t pause your healthy living goals during the holidays. Staying consistent with small habits will have a big impact after the holidays are done.
Stay organized:
Keep meal planning and prepping as a part of your routine during the holidays.
Savor every bite:
Maximize the enjoyment of your meal. Notice the variety in texture, color, taste, and aroma of all the delicious foods you’re about to enjoy.
Get back on track:
One meal doesn’t mean all of your goals are ruined. Focus on moving forward with healthy eating habits at your next meal.
Get moving:
Activity over the holidays will help burn off the extra calories we’re likely to consume. A walk after a meal will also support digestion and reduce bloating.
Commit to one serving:
If you think you’re still hungry, wait 10 minutes before going back for more.
Reduce liquid calories:
Choose water or sparkling water most often. Alternate alcoholic beverages with water.
Practice mindfulness:
Be present and check-in with yourself. Are you eating because you’re hungry or for other reasons?
