Don\u2019t try to deprive yourself during the holidays, it most likely won\u2019t go over well. Having an extra holiday treat here and there won\u2019t kill you. You\u2019re allowed to indulge a bit, just keep portions small when it comes to holiday desserts and make sure you limit how often you eat them. Going the whole season without any treats is cruel and will most likely end in bingeing later, so have your guilty pleasures, just keep them in moderation.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Watch the alcohol<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The holidays are a time for celebration, which most likely means more alcohol. Not only does alcohol add on empty calories, but can also lead you to eating more while drinking. If you are at a gathering, limit yourself to one or two drinks to cut down on the unhealthy cravings you might be feeling afterward.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Focus on the protein<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Protein-packed foods are a great way to fill up without adding a lot of sugar and empty carbohydrates. Pack your plate with low-fat meats like turkey and chicken. If you\u2019re vegetarian, eat more of the legumes and tofu than the side dishes that are most likely to be sugar and carbohydrate heavy.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Fill up on the water<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The holidays are an easy time to drink more sugary beverages than normal, so don\u2019t forget about water!\u00a0\u00a0Water is essential for your health. Try to remember to substitute drinks for water, and drink a lot of it. Alternate your alcoholic beverages with a glass of water to stay hydrated. We will often overeat <em>NOT<\/em> because we are hungry, but because we are thirsty!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Take your time<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Eating too fast is one of the easiest ways to overeat. When you don\u2019t give your body the chance to digest food and feel full before you stop eating, chances are you\u2019re going to end up eating more than you want. Eat slowly and enjoy each bite to give your body a chance to catch up. This way, you\u2019ll end up getting full faster and eat less.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Most of all don\u2019t forget to enjoy the holidays and the delicious food that comes with it. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Don\u2019t be afraid to indulge a little!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Moderation<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve always the heard the saying to enjoy everything in moderation, and that is definitely true when it comes to holiday foods.
