Give Yourself the Gift of Health
Holiday parties and shopping can make this the most exciting time of the year. But entertaining, eating out, and stress can add unwanted pounds to your waistline. Resolve to make this holiday season your healthiest yet, with more energy and vitality. With a few simple steps you can come through the next few weeks looking and feeling your best!

Pick Protein

Lean proteins can help maintain a healthy weight because high-protein diets are associated with greater satiety. Make sure to load up on some extra turkey or roasted chicken!  Try to stay away from the ham if you are eating low-fat and for my Keto Bees . . . sorry, but NO honey glaze.  

Bring your Own

Rather than try to figure out what's in every dish at a friend's party (or avoid eating altogether), bring a healthy side dish or dessert. Taste the what you want, but know you have a healthy alternative to fall back on.

Eat & Chew Slowly

Eating slowly may not be easy when appetizer options are endless, but it pays off to pace yourself. The quicker we eat, the less time the body has to register fullness. So slow down and take a second to savor each bite.

Wait Before Grabbing Seconds

 Since it takes about 20 minutes for the brain to get the message that dinner's been served.  Go for a walk or chat with friends before dishing up seconds.
