Since we have wrapped up Thanksgiving, I thought I would
give some tips for eating healthy at holiday parties. December is full of parties so here are some
tips to stay on track.
1. Eat before you
go. If you aren’t hungry when you get
there you’ll be less likely to graze and over eat.
2. Be the last in
line. The buffet or appetizer able looks
great when you’re the first person to eat, but once a large amount of people
have go through the line the food looks less appetizing.
3. Remember holiday drinks
are full of calories. Mix two ounces of
wine with club soda, a little cranberry juice and lime juice for a wine
spritzer. Egg Nogg has 350 calories for
one cup, a cup of vodka on the rocks is 96 calories and a glass of wine has 100
calories.
4. Avoid stretchy
clothes. You want to feel when you are
out of control. If you wear clothes that
are snug and doesn’t stretch then you will know if you are over eating.
5. Use a salad plate
or appetizer plate and make it a rule not to stack food on top of each
other.
6. Bring gum. If you have had an appropriate serving of
food start chewing gum. It will help you
to avoid picking at the food table.
7. Stand more than an
arm’s length away from munchies like a bowl of nuts or chips while you chat so
you’re not tempted to raise your hand to your mouth every few seconds.
8. Bring your own
healthy dish. If you bring a healthy
dish you will have a sure fire way to at least eat one healthy item.
