Preventing Holiday Weight Gain
- Portion Size! Choose small portions of high calories dishes that you want to splurge on, offset those with
salads, and lower calorie options. - Use smaller plates if available when at a buffet-style party. Larger plates = more food!
- Eat slowly! It takes about 20 min for your brain to register that your stomach is full;
- Plan Ahead. If you are bringing a dish to share make healthy substitutions or choose a recipe that adds fruits and vegetables
- Don't arrive to a holiday party on an empty stomach!
- Watch your beverages. Sugar sweetened beverages and alcohol can add a significant amount of calories and added sugar to your meal.
