Eat and Stay Slim During the Holidays
There is always plenty of good food on my dining table during the holiday season.
And during this period, many of us will be tempted to gorge ourselves.
How can we blame anyone? Holiday cooking is always good, especially when the family are together and loads of delicious turkey and pies are on the table.
How can we prevent ourselves from feeling guilty after all the holiday eating? Here are some simple tips to help us enjoy ourselves while still feeling good about the holidays thereafter in January.
Eat a good breakfast on the morning of the holiday.
Have a healthy and hearty breakfast consisting of whole meal bread, oat meal cereal with low fat milk or yogurt with fruits and nuts.
How can eating breakfast be good for the waistline when we will be facing lots of delicious food throughout the day? The reason is simple.
Eating a healthy breakfast will help us to avoid overeating.
We will be able to make healthier choices during the holiday lunch and not binge.
It has also been proven that a person who skips breakfast tend to eat fair bit more calories throughout the day.
Choose salsa.
Guacamole and salsa dips taste great and are much healthier than cream based dips.
Personally I make sure that my dinner parties have at least 3 types of salsa dips and only 1 sauce type dip.
I also strategize the layout of the table such that the salsa dips are more accessible to my guests.
But if you must have that creamy feeling, use a guacamole dips; creamy and healthy.
Enjoy the food and enjoy the company.
Good food and good wine are meant to be enjoyed and savoured slowly.
Engage your friends more than the food.
Try spending more time talking and less time surveying the table.
This is definitely a good way to have an enjoyable time.
Share.
Share your desserts with your wife or partner.
It is so much more fun to try all the different types of cakes and ice creams with someone you love.
This way, you eat less but get to try out a variety of desserts.
Enjoy your holidays.
Enjoy your food.
And enjoy that slimmer you after the holiday season.
