We all have #holiday parties we have to attend. Whether it’s at work, in the neighborhood, or with family, it’s hard to dodge those tasty holiday #treats. Well, it can be done, if you have a plan.
Checkout these six tips to help you stay on track during the holiday season.
• Offer to bring a #healthy dish
• Don’t stand next to the food table.- Get your food, grab your plate and go eat somewhere else. All of the grazing by the table will add up.
• Focus on spending quality time with #family and #friends instead of overindulging in treats and food. Play games, tell stories, clean around the house. Do whatever you have to do to keep your mind off the treats.
• Load up on non-starchy veggies. Get those veggies like green beans, broccoli, spinach, etc., that are going to help make you feel full.
• Slow down — remember your brain is 15 minutes behind your belly. Take your time and chew your food. Enjoy it and the people around you.
• Eat your veggies first then #protein and save the starch for the end. The idea here is that you are less likely to eat all of your starch after eating veggies and protein first.
