How can I enjoy the Holidays without over eating and feeling guilty the next day?
1. Drink lots of water throughout the day and especially within an hour of your big feast. Keep a water bottle available and put crystal lite in it if necessary. 2. Snack on cold veggies instead of chips and salsa for appetizers. Dip the veggies in salsa instead of ranch dressing. Substitute baked pita chips or pretzels for tortilla chips or potato chips. 3. Make sure you bring your own balsamic vinaigrette for salads. Stay away from the fattening dressings and salad toppings. 4. Eat everything in moderation!! You can indulge in the turkey and stuffing but make sure you take small servings and fill up on the salad instead. Watch the overeating!! Eat until your comfortable. 5. Go for a run/walk/bike ride each day especially on the Big Feast Day!! 7. Don't skip meals!! Bring an extra protein shake readily available in a shaker to have as a meal replacement if you know you'll be eating heavy earlier or later in the day. Most of all enjoy yourself. You don't have to miss out on the good food but just be smarter about your choices!!
