The Holidays

What would it feel like to actually make it through the holidays without feeling like your dragging through life just waiting for January 1st to appear so you can finally get on track with your life. Most people have experienced either weight gain, decrease in energy, stress or so run down that they end up sick through most of the holidays. I hear people say all the time….”But I had to eat that piece of pie” or I could not turn down the extra helping and hurt their feelings.” Who ends up hurt in the long run? What are some changes you can make today that could change the way you feel throughout the holidays?

Tips:

1. If you have four parties to attend that week….then pick one or two.
2. Start out with a good breakfast that includes protein (egg or almond butter), whole grain (oatmeal or whole grain toast) and fruit.
3. Make sure you eat high fiber foods throughout the day. Not only will you feel full, you will also contribute to healthy colon.
4. Plan ahead….keep some food records to take a look at what you diet is actually like.
