Oh how good the home cooked meals are. We know how hard it
is to be careful what we eat during the holidays. Health Briefs TV offers a few
thoughts about to not overeat during the holidays.
It is okay to indulge on the holiday itself but not on the
days before and after it. Over indulging throughout Thanksgiving week and the
weeks leading up to and including Christmas, Hanukah and New Year’s Day can
derail anyone’s weight loss plan or wellness routine. But do enjoy the special
dishes people like to make.
Take plenty of walks before and after meals with family
members and friends. This is the nicest way to spend quality time with someone
you haven’t seen in a while.
If there is a lot of fatty, carb and calorie-laden food on
the table, take small portions of it. A
small portion should be no bigger than the palm of the hand.
The Health Briefs TV show suggests snacking on veggies and
low-fat or healthful dips and spreads. Make your own to take with you or borrow
a car and head to the store for the ingredients.
Over eating throughout the holiday season can wreak havoc on
a healthy lifestyle or weight loss plan, Think ahead and prepare to not over
eat.
