 10 Tips for Eating
During the Holidays 1. Be Mindful. Of conversation, of food, of drink, of your
surroundings! 2. Focus on the gathering for
conversation, not just the food. 3. Eat regular meals and snacks prior
to your holiday meal. Don’t “save up”
and not eat all day. You will probably end up eating more later and will probably be
more uncomfortable after eating later on in the day if you do that. 4. Check in with yourself BEFORE you
are full. Put your fork down and wait a
few minutes. Remember it takes 10-20
mins for the stomach to fill up. 5. Stop before you are stuffed, stop
when you are just satisfied. 6. Bring the healthy side dish or
vegetable or salad. That way you know
there is something to fill up on first. 7. If you drink alcohol, have a full
glass of water nearby for every drink you have. Also, try to stick to the lighter beers or a glass of wine. This will help to prevent dehydration and to keep you from drinking too
much! 8. Take a walk. Get your group to take a walk after dinner or
maybe you have time to go in the morning before your gathering. Just make sure to move around during the day. 9. Even if family pushes you to eat
more, stop if you are full. Try asking
for a to-go container or a bag to take it home in so you can have it later. “I would love to but I don’t have anymore
room..” I would love to try it tomorrow when I have a little more room...looks
delicious” are some good responses. 10.When eating dessert, have a small slice of
one thing or a tiny sliver of a couple
things. If you are stuffed (try not to
be!) you may want to forgo the dessert and take it home for later. And, most importantly, ENJOY!!!! |
