Many people struggle with eating too much. Changes in routines and added stress during the holidays don’t help. Even though food can be comforting, too much can harm your health. And adding just a few pounds each year can really add up over time.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the festive foods and drinks of the season.
With the right eating plan in place, you can enjoy holiday foods and drinks without overdoing it. Try some of these tips to set yourself up for success:
Be aware of what you’re consuming and try to balance healthy and not-so-healthy choices during the holidays. It’s a good way to avoid starting the new year with extra pounds. If you slip up, don’t beat yourself up. Just get back on track.
Add more superfoods to your diet during the holidays and throughout the year. You may not know exactly what superfoods are, but you’re probably already familiar with them. Think dark leafy greens and nuts. Fruits, dark chocolate, olive oil and oily fish are superfoods, too. They are the backbone of MINDful Eating.
