5 Holiday Diet Survival Tips


*
Focus on people, not food: Social gatherings are events where people get together and food just happens to be present, not the other way around. Be a social butterfly, a great way to have fun without calories.

*
Avoid random raids off the buffet table: This goes back to planning. Set a limit as to the number of passes you make through the goodies. More than 3 visits – you’re out!

*
Think “healthy” holidays are “happy” holidays: make a point of choosing low fat Hors d’oeuvres; cold shrimp with cocktail sauce, fruit and vegetables that can fill you up, not out.

*
Recognize “the danger zone”: It’s good to eat in response to hunger, but arriving at a party as hungry as a lion is going to make your appetite roar once you see the party food. Have a low fat snack of lean meat or cottage cheese or nonfat yogurt before you go.
Healthy living is the best holiday gift you can give yourself.
