No one loves the Holidays and the food that goes with it more than I do! So with that said I have come up with a list of ways to enjoy without gaining a lb!
Before going to an event/gathering be sure to get a good morning workout in with an additional 20 minutes of cardio than usual, get in a healthy breakfast, lunch, with some good snacks that way you are not starving when you arrive at the event and go crazy!
Drink 2 cups of water before eating. Water is a great way to make you feel full!
Stock up on the veggie platter first, and work your way to the dessert..by that time you will only need just a little.
Swap gravy sauce for cranberry sauce
Get Creative, who says you can't enjoy your favorite desserts just use healthier means to cook them. It will be the same great taste minus the calories!
Some of my favs:
Mix Non-fat Ricotta cheese with your favorite berry blend and add stevia to sweeten it up. Another great desert with ricotta is mixing it with grinded coffee beans, natural coco, dark chocolate chips, and stevia to taste.
Whip up a cheese cake using low-fat bases and stevia for sweetner. A personal favorite is pumpkin cheese cake!
Make hot cocoa using natural cocoa, cinamon, stevia (to sweeten) and water-only 30 calories!
Opt for low-fat and reduced sugar cake mixes
Enjoy that glass of red wine its great for the heart
Eat, Drink, Be Merry this Holiday Season!
