3 Secrets to Successful Holiday Eating!

So here we are, another holiday weekend. Whether this is a religious event or just a social holiday, the weekend calls for visiting. And that usually means eating. For some, it means lots of eating. If your holiday began Wednesday, you're already experiencing it and I'm sorry that I didn't wirte this for you sooner.

The "Secrets" are pretty simple: Preparation, Planning and Moderation.

1. Preparation: Be prepared to be offered foods that may noy be the best choices. Think about how you'll say "no." Think ahead about the choices you could make instead.
2. Planning: Plan your workout or exercise. Fitness doesn't always need a holiday. Eat a little before you go to the event so that you're not really hungry. This way, you can eat what you like or want and do so in reasonable portions. Plan your arrival times so that you don't have too much pre-meal munching time.
3. Moderation: Eating right doesn't mean that you can never have things you like or view as "festive." But do so in moderation. A little goes a long way.

Have a great holiday.
