The holidays! The very thought conjures up visions of rich food and
overeating. Between office parties, cocktail parties, company dinners, family gatherings and lots of leftovers, willpower soon runs out. The holidays loom like a nutritional black hole. The weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day present a special challenge to anyone trying to be a healthy eater. Since
you know what’s coming however, you can be prepared.
Be good to yourself during the holidays by continuing to make healthy choices. Eating a variety of food every day and eating in moderation are important to staying healthy, managing your weight and decreasing your stress level. The holidays are not a time for deprivation, but there is nothing wrong with moderation.
