Party Time
As the old saying goes, “Eat, drink and be merry!” Indeed, the holidays are a time to celebrate with friends and family, but all this socializing and merriment can bring with it added temptation and a few extra inches in the waistline. With turkey day rapidly approaching, here are a few small steps you can take in order to avoid packing on the pounds during the most joyous of seasons.
Don’t Skip Meals
This may seem like a good idea before your big Thanksgiving dinner, but this plan almost always backfires. Depriving yourself of food all day to save calories will only lead to overeating during the main event. Instead, get your metabolism going with a nutritious breakfast and follow with a light lunch. A small snack before dinner will also help curb your appetite and ensure that you don’t devour everything in sight in a fit of ravenous hunger.
Trim Back on the Trimmings
Cutting back on gravy, sauces, butter and other trimmings is a great way to shave calories. Your meal certainly won’t suffer without these small additions and you won’t have to loosen your belt when you’re done. The same goes for appetizers. They may seem harmless, but those deviled eggs, cheese and crackers and spinach dip are loaded with high-calorie cream, butter and mayonnaise. If you’re looking to whet your appetite, opt instead for carrot sticks, salsa or a handful of nuts.
Beware of Nog
Alcoholic drinks and holiday favorites like eggnog are typically loaded with calories. Try buying light or diet versions of your favorite juices, mixers and drinks. Another great way to keep yourself hydrated and reduce your caloric intake is to alternate your alcoholic beverages and delicious holiday brews with water.
