‘Tis the season for parties and sweets!
Don’t worry – there are ways to have fun and still stick to your goals.
1. Wake up early and do a workout – this will give you energy, help you feel better and you will be more likely to stick to your healthy eating.
2. Don’t save room for calories later in the day. You will be more hungry by the time you get to the party and you will eat much more than you should. Eat normally throughout the day.
3. Eat a high protein/complex carb combination BEFORE you leave for the party. This will keep you from eating too much.
4. Bring something healthy to the party – this way you know you will have something good to choose from.
5. Set a goal and stick to it. For example, if you know you have a holiday party coming up, decide what you will eat as your “cheat” treat and stick to it. Then eat the healthiest foods that you can find at the party. There is usually a veggie & fruit tray – enjoy those veggie sticks! Just go easy on the dips. And watch your portion sizes.
6. Drink LOTS of water – this will help to keep you feeling full throughout the party.
7. Go easy on the alcohol. These are empty calories and the more you drink the more you will snack. Also drink 1 glass of water after each glass of alcohol to help prevent dehydration.
