5 Tips for Healthier Eating During the Holidays!

September 17, 2024 By Cindy Silver

IMG_3164 Eating Healthier During the Holidays…What?!

Healthier eating during the holidays may sound like a twisted thought to you but I say that it can be done. Yes, along with fall and early winter holidays like Thanksgiving, Hannukah, Christmas and New Year’s Day come delicious parties and memorable dinners. But, the result doesn’t have to be a tighter belt. Wouldn’t it be great not to have to make a weight loss resolution again on January 1st? Here’s a tiny video where I explain how you can have all the joy of the holidays and get a grip on healthier eating, too!

5 Tips for Healthier Eating During the Holidays!

1. Be a fanatic for good nutrition: Get out of bed with an attitude for healthy eating whether it is Thanksgiving Day or any other day of the week. Remember, it’s a holiday, not a holiweek or holimonth…get it?

2. Celebrate every day success: Keep your usual light and healthy meals and snacks in place. If you indulge at a party or dinner, then move on and get back on track the next meal or the next day. Celebrate with a friend by going to the movies or roller skating rink.

3. Bring a healthy option to a party or potluck: Contribute a basket of oranges, tangerines, apples or dried mixed fruits for color and good nutrition on the party table. Or, mixed nuts in the shell with nut crackers might be fun. For a casserole dish use less butter, cheese and sour cream and for a hot vegetable, keep it simple by steaming.

4. Think your drink: Lead by example with one glass of beer or wine and then a glass of seltzer water or a sugar free soft drink. If you serve iced tea then use less sugar for a refreshing change.

5. Taste a dessert: Enjoy a bite of dessert or several desserts on a small plate. Make 3 bites out of each one and eat slowly to taste and appreciate every flavor and texture.

Healthier Eating During the Holidays Will Make it a Happier New Year!

A smart plan is the one that helps you achieve a healthy life. So, I recommend putting good nutrition at the top of your mind for fewer ‘train wrecks’ and more cheer this coming season. Healthier eating during the holidays will improve your energy level, decrease your stress and make it a happier New Year.
