–Portion control. Remember to use a smaller plate.
–Never show up on an empty stomach. The hungrier you are the less self control you’ll have .
–Eat slowly. It’s not a race! Be sure to take your time while eating. Benefits of eating slowly include better digestion, hydration and weight loss.
–Eat more fruits and veggies. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins, minerals, and plant nutrients . Eating more of these nutrient dense foods will also pack a big punch of fiber . Studies show that fiber acts as a powerful appetite suppressant.
You don’t need to deprive yourself or feel guilty during the holiday season. Instead, by practicing these simple steps you can get through the holidays without making “I need to go on a diet” part of your New Years resolution.
