Holiday Eating/ Strategies For Dieting

With the holidays coming up and thanksgiving only being a week away most of us will be with friends and family. This means theres a high chance that we will be eating all the food that comes with the holiday as well. You must be thinking "but how do I stay on track and not indulge in too much comfort food?". Well in this article we will be covering a few ways to prevent the holiday munchies from engulfing you.

We recommend fueling for your performance, but we realize that it is the holidays and in reality we are not perfect. This is why we included an option/ Idea for those who want to eat a little holiday food as well. This article will provide a few ways to stick to a diet, as well as other methods.

If you are traveling to a different location for thanksgiving day dinner and you know there won't be any healthy food, meaning food that doesn't meet your diet/lifestyle. A way to go might be food prepping the day of or night before. This will allow you to be with friends and family while still being able to eat the food that is right for you.

Another option which is not as ideal could be to eat a small meal prior to traveling to dinner. This will settle our appetite and in return lead us to eating less food at a different location.
If you are eating a home and you do have some lean food still available, but still want to eat some stuffing and pie. Maybe limit your intake and eat a little more veggies, protein, etc than the pie, stuffing, etc.

Another possibility is that if you know you are going to eat something that is not that healthy, such as pie, maybe think of either reducing the size by half or using a smaller plate. This will allow you to eat something that you enjoy, but limits the amount you will be intaking. This is an option if you know you are definitely going to eat something that doesn't meet your diet/lifestyle.

We hope these ideas might help for the holidays, but remember the important thing is to spend the time with loved ones. We hope everyone has a happy thanksgiving!
