Holiday Nutrition Tips

The holidays are fast approaching. How can we enjoy the parties, friends, food, drinks. Well here are just a few tips that just may help in that dilema. If you know what date your event is, stay on your lifestyle nutrition plan up until that date. The day of your event, eat your scheduled meals as usual but in a little smaller portions. Eat a small meal right before attending your event. Cut your complex carbohydrate intake a little more than usual in your meals on your event day.

Now when you attend your event you can still partake in the meal. Just remember your portion sizes. Make good food choices even at your event. Put more veggies on your plate than stuffing and the other goodies. Make sure to drink a glass of water before your meal as well. Moderation is your key and still be able to enjoy.

When choosing your deserts, moderation again as well. Also try and choose sweet potato, pumpkin pie instead of your cream, fruit and nuget pies. Choose angel food cake topped with fresh berries or fruit salad instead of some of the other choices in cakes. Choose your oatmeal cookies over the sugar cookies. But if you just have to have that fudge, brownies, etc., keep it to a single serving size.

Now let's talk about alcohol choices. Choose red wine if available. Try and refrain from sweet mixed drinks. If you drink alcohol, try and mix with water, ice.

When your event is over, the next day, return to your lifestyle eating program, back to your training and this will aid you in keeping those unwanted holiday pounds at bay. I hope that these tips help you to still be able to enjoy your holiday events and stay on your lifestyle program. Until next time. HAPPY HOLIDAYS.
