Holiday Parties

Do the food and snack options at holiday parties send you into a frenzy? Too many beautiful foods to taste? Limiting your food consumption during this time or year is difficult to say the least. Here are a few tips that might be useful as you taste your way through the season:
  • Be sure to stick to your meal schedule as much as possible.
  • Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and prevent from becoming overly hungry.
  • Enjoy the fresh fruit and veggies available at parties, and try to limit the amount of high-fat dips. Hummus is a good choice because it has protein. 
  • Limit the amount of salty snacks, high-fat cheeses, and other foods. Opt for healthier choices.
  • Talk to your friends and colleagues rather than making eating the main reason for the party.
  • Take a few snacks then walk away from the food tables. The more time you spend standing near the food the more likely you are to continue eating the food available!
  • Enjoy your food, just eat less of it.
