Holiday Eating Help - Diet Tip #2

I have three holiday parties to attend this week, and a few next week. I know that if I do not plan out my eating then I will get sucked into the evil pit of greasy appetizers and carbohydrates. So I have come up with a few ideas on how to come out of this alive!

1. Bring healthy snacks to the parties
-Hummus and celery
-Fruits and veggies with low-calorie dips
-Fresh shrimp
-Salsa and baked chips
-California rolls
-Chocolate dipped strawberries

2. Eat normally through the day. Fasting will only make you fall more to temptation once you see the yummy food.

3. Workout to burn extra calories that you might ingest at the party.

4. Watch the drinks - alcoholic beverages are high in calories. Avoid drinks made with regular soda or juice. One glass of wine, champagne, or a shot of liquor all have about 100 to 150 calories (generally speaking).
