Here are a few tips that I tell my clients!
- Think of the food as a meal, not a whole day eating competition.
- Eat one plate of food-DO NOT LET YOUR FOOD TOUCH EACH OTHER!
- This will help with portion control.
- Drink TONS of water.
- Be active that day. After you eat, take your family on a walk!
- Eat one small dessert. Yes-I understand it is a holiday and it would not be the same without desserts!
- Half of a piece of pie
- One brownie (Guilt Free are the best-Trader Joe's or Giant Eagle)
- One cookie
- Do not eat leftovers for every meal! Especially the day after!
- Watch your alcohol content. Liquid calories should not take place of food calories.
- The goal is to maintain or lose weight throughout the holidays-not to take a step back!
