Holiday Parties

Healthy  Hints for Holiday Parties

• At the party fill your plate with fresh vegetables, fruit, salad, or lean meat.  Instead of reaching for cheese or other high-fat foods look for vegetables, yogurt dip, or salsa. 
• Once you have filled your plate move away from the food and interact with others at the party.  If you stand around the buffet table it is much easier for temptation to take over.
• During the party focus on your guests rather than the food, spend time catching up with friends and relatives instead of filling your plate with multiple helpings.
• Keep in mind that you should only be eating when you are hungry, not just because the food is there and everybody else is eating.
