While working out on the Schwinn 460 Variable Stride Elliptical Trainer, which has that great feature of being able to change your stride lengths from 2″-26″ without any manual adjustments, the thought of what and how much too eat during the holidays came up. First of all don’t skip meals, just eat sensibly, such as a bowl of whole grain cereal to kick the day off. It is also a good idea to eat high-fiber foods before a party, because fiber helps you feel full, and if you aren’t feeling hungry you probably won’t eat as much.
Treat yourself to that piece of pie, or that holiday cookie, but instead of having a huge piece of pie or multiple cookies limit yourself to a smaller portion. Probably the best idea is, don’t hang around the buffet table with all the tempting and delicious food, because you know what they say “out of sight, out of mind”. Drink plenty of water to keep hydrated and drink alcohol sensibly, because there are plenty of calories in cocktails.
