Eat Well and Be Happy - Tips for Enjoying the Holiday Season
This is the time of year when the frenetic schedule of social events can be a little overwhelming and can interfere with even our best of intentions around healthy eating, exercising, and stress reduction. Here are some tips for enjoying holiday parties without overindulging
- Drink Water – Alternate alcohol drinks with water. I sometimes drink my water in a martini glass and sip it gracefully. It makes me feel very elegant. Also, before heading out to the party, have a few glasses of water. You will feel a little fuller and consume alcohol at a slower pace.
- Refill your Plate – Yup, that’s right, accept that you will refill your plate at a cocktail party or buffet at least once. So, on the first trip, pick a smaller plate, don’t overlap your foods, pick two or three tasty items and then, when you are ready, go back for more. Take a moment as you eat to savor the taste of each individual food item. If it is not enjoyable, don’t eat it.
