The best way to get through the 23-day holiday period with our weight and health intact is to plan!
?
Here are tips help you in the kitchen and beyond as you prepare for the holidays:
?
How to fill your plate: Half your plate should be vegetables, both raw and cooked. Proteins should be a quarter of you plate, and whole grains the remaining quarter.
If you are eating animal proteins, keep it minimal and don’t take seconds.
Preload your meals by drinking a glass or two of water right at the beginning.
Use fruits (watermelon) or natural sorbets for dessert.
When cooking and baking, don’t overdo the tasting! Taste to know your dish is up to par, but that’s all.
Don’t feel obligated to finish everything you serve. Finishing food just for the sake of finishing it will always get you into trouble with the extra calories. Leftovers can be refrigerated or frozen.
Keep meals simple. With many meals over the holiday season, you have plenty of opportunities to implement your creative cooking.
Try taking walks after meals. It is not healthy for our metabolism when we fall asleep immediately after a meal.
