The holidays will be here soon and with them come many temptations. The thought of staying on your diet might feel daunting, but don't give up just yet! While this is a time of year for celebrations, and food is one of the pleasures of parties, holiday festivities and other social gatherings, it doesn't mean you have to throw in the towel.
So, what can you do this holiday season to keep yourself from overdoing it? Just because you're trying to eat healthfully doesn't mean you need to avoid events or accept a few extra "party" pounds. All foods -- even traditional holiday treats -- can fit into a healthful eating plan for the calorie conscious. The secret is moderation and balance. So what are some concrete things you can do?
Remember, the holidays are so much more than food. Remember the meaning of the holidays. Savor the time with friends and family to celebrate all that you have. Whatever you don't eat this holiday season will still be there next year.
