Staying Slim

It's Holiday season and it can be difficult to NOT pack on a few extra pounds with all the amazing dinners, family cooking, and delicious desserts. Here are a couple of helpful eating tips when it comes to holidays.

Worst Holiday Drink: Eggnog
Unfortunately, there is not one healthy aspect of this Holiday treat. It is full of fat from the egg, cream, and sugar ingredients. Opt for a glass of hot cocoa or apple cider instead.

Desserts such as Pecan Pie, Cheesecake, and Fruitcake are full of butter, sugar, corn syrup and fat. Pass on these holiday desserts and opt for desserts such as fruit pie/cobblers and pumpkin pie which has beta-carotene.

Avoid creamed veggie dishes especially when there are fresher options available. Avoid cheese sticks, swidish meatballs, and fried fattening finger snacks and opt for pretzels, chips and salsa, and popcorn.

Lastly, enjoy the holiday food just try not to overindulge. The key is to eat what you want, just limit the portion sizes of the unhealthy foods.
