Often times, people tell me that they find it hard to manage their food intake during the holidays because they are constantly surrounded by so much food, desserts, drinks, etc. at various gatherings. While these gatherings are in part what make the holidays fun and enjoyable, there are ways to still control your intake.
Tip #3: Do not skip meals
Chances are that if you skip meals during the day in anticipation for an evening party, you will still overeat. Skipping meals can lead to over-indulgence in food and beverages at parties because you often arrive starving and wanting everything and anything offered to you. Rather, it is best to eat a light and healthy snack ahead of time such as some raw veggies with yogurt dip or some fresh fruit. These types of snacks will help you keep your appetite in check and help you not to overeat.
Tip #4: Observe party buffets BEFORE filling your plate
The key to this tip is for you to plan what food you want to eat before you even start the line. Keep in mind that it is best to fill 1/2 of your plate with veggies and fruit. Pick your favorite foods, and skip least favorites. Keep portions small and go back for seconds if time permits.
