Nutrition for the New Year
No need to break out in a sweat thinking of all the parties and cocktails coming your way in the next few weeks throughout the holidays. Following are some guidelines to help you in situations you may face:.
- Focus on weight maintenance vs. weight loss.
- Be physically active every day (like brisk walking, jogging, bicycling, roller blading, and swimming).
- Eat a light snack before going to holiday parties.
- Make a plan. Think about where you will be, who you will be with, what foods will be available, what foods are really special to you that you will savor and skip the others.
- Avoid recreational eating, consciously make one plate of the foods you really want. Eat it slowly--enjoying and savoring every tasty bite.
- If you choose to drink, select light wines and beers, and use non-alcoholic mixers such as water and diet soda. Limit your intake to 1 or 2 alcoholic drinks per occasion.
- Enjoy good friends and family.
