Holiday Parties Don’t Have to Play Havoc with Healthy Eating

No matter where you are in your fitness journey, the holidays can through you off track if you’re not careful.

The parties alone are a problem for many of us. The cocktails, the heavy appetizers, the irresistible desserts (that often end up being, you know, not even worth it).

Well, by now you’ve navigated a few of these busy seasons and have learned how to make them work for you. Here are a few reminders to help you enjoy the parties without regret.

1. Be Choosy. Remember, you don’t have to be everywhere all the time. Decline some invitations. Mark others for snacks only. Enjoy the ones you know you’ll love.
2. Less Is More. Pick smaller plates before loading up. Favor veggies, fruit,s and lean protein.
3. Potluck Palooza. For these parties, bring a healthy dish you also enjoyed making, or at least sharing.
4. Eat Before You Go. Have a healthy, light snack plate before going to a party. That way, you’ll be less likely to overindulge or face a crisis if the service is slow.
5. Sip wisely. Too much wine or liquor can lead to overeating, so alternate a glass of water or club soda for each adult beverage.

Remember that holiday parties are supposed to be fun. But don’t let your guard down too quickly. You don’t want to face 2024 with a month’s worth of regret!
