The Holiday Season is one in which we all indulge ourselves in over-abundance. Especially when it comes to "FOOD". Food has become a central part of our get togethers and parties around the holidays, so it is important that we remember to make smart food choices. And this is something that is almost always easier said than done when you see some of the decadent food choices made available, made with love, by your friends and family.
In most cases, the majority of the party-going people, won't be concerned with watching their weight, so they are less inclined to bring healthier versions of their best recipes. Then it becomes our own burden to stick with our diets or to watch what we eat as the food choices are always so tempting!
The following 15 holiday eating tips are here to help you when going to holiday parties to better watch your weight by giving you some great ideas.
1. Stop Eating When You Feel Full
2. Take A Few Extra or Longer Walks
3. Don't Count Calories Incessantly
