5 Healthy Eating Tips for the Holiday Season

1. Control your portions. At a party, choose the items you want to try the most, and eat a small portion of each.

2.  Eat slowly. Savor each bite and enjoy the taste of the food. Use a Hunger/Satiety Scale to help you pay attention to your appetite.

3.  Don't let yourself get hungry. This is a "recipe" for disaster later on!

4.  Be realistic. Don't try to diet during the holidays. Aim to maintain!

5. "Healthify" some of your traditional holiday recipes (your family won't even notice!): mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, pumpkin pie, sweet potato casserole, cheesy potatoes
