8 Tips to Enjoy The Holidays While Staying Friends with The Scale
By Rebecca Subbiah RD
1. Tis the season for giving, share your cookies and cakes with friends and neighbors!
2. Walk around your neighborhood and sing Carrols spreading good cheer.
3. Have a small healthy snack before going to parties like a piece of fruit or a bowl of cereal so your not really hungry.
4. Christmas is just one day relax and eat what you want but just for a day!
5. Make mini desserts to help with portion control.
6. Leftovers are a good thing, you can get creative with the turkey, make turkey curry, turkey fried rice and turkey salad.
7. Play in the snow, have snow ball fights build a snowman and make snow angels.
8. Have fun
What are your tips?
Love
Great post! I just made mini bread puddings for our dinner, after we had a yummy salad, and glass of wine. I love to sing carols!
ReplyDeleteI think I am blind from your wreath!
Hee hee, I don't really plan on dieting during the Holidays at all. Just wanna indulge! In moderation, of course! I say just let live and enjoy the moment!

ReplyDeleteYou're having so much fun lately.. meeting with many blogger friends, celebrating your birthday over at London & many more. But the one I like the most was that Salmon, Mushroom & Spinach En Croute! I definitely will try it out some day.
Have a great weekend and enjoy the festive season!

ReplyDeleteI needed this advice. I always forget to control myself during the holidays. Great ideas on how to keep the spirit and your self control!
ReplyDeletegreat tips mine are not as wholesome - I would say go hungry to parties so you can fill up on all of their goodies...LOL
ReplyDeleteAlways remembering that it's just one day, and that there's always next year to enjoy everything edible all over again!
