7 Healthy Eating Habits for the Holidays

7 Healthy Eating Habits for the Holidays, Say Dietitians — Eat This Not That

10 Tips to Help you have a Healthier Holiday from a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist

Don’t skip meals

(Skipping a meal with the goal of saving calories prior to a holiday can backfire and lead to overeating)

Contribute a healthy dish

(This will ensure there is at least one nutritious option)

Choose your splurges

(Choose a couple of holiday favorites to splurge on instead of foods you have every day)

Think color

(Make your plate look festive by including more fruits and veggies)

Choose drinks wisely

(Stick to calorie-free drinks. Stay away from those festive drinks that contribute to empty calories and can cause you to make poor judgements with food)

Visit the people, not the food

(Move socializing away from the food to prevent mindless eating)

Say no to food pushers

Savor seasonal treats

(Having treats once a year will not break your weight, enjoy that special treat when you have it)

Eat until you are satisfied, not stuffed

(Eat slowly, and check your fullness levels while you’re eating)

Don’t feel guilty

(If you did overeat, don’t beat yourself up. Just make sure your next meal is healthy, and be sure to incorporate exercise into the next weeks routine)
