Navigating the holiday table among all the incredible choices available can be quite challenging, am I right? Well, fear not!

I've got you covered with 3 simple tips to make holiday meals a delightful feast without any food-related stress.

Scout Before You Scoop: Before loading up your plate, take a lap around the food spread. Assess the available options & ask yourself, "Is this what I truly want?" There's no need to sample "a little of everything" or indulge in mediocre treats just because they're there. Choose selectively & savor what genuinely appeals to you.

Plate with Purpose: Begin by filling up one entire plate, but don't overload it. Prioritize lean proteins (aka turkey 😜) & vibrant fruits & vegetables, making up about half to three-quarters of your plate. Remember, you're permitted to return for seconds! After finishing your meal, allow at least 15 minutes before going back for your favorite dessert. Take your time! It's about savoring & enjoying the experience.

Ditch the Tracker, Trust Your Instincts: While tracking can be a useful tool for efficient dieting, context matters, and it's not necessary all the time. Instead, put your knowledge of portion control, balanced meals & mindful eating into practice. Lean proteins, colorful fruits & veggies, essential carbohydrates & healthy fats are your go-to staples. When represented well on your plate, they'll leave you feeling satisfied & nourished, with just the right amount of space for your favorite dessert.

Remember, these strategies aren't about restriction but rather about making conscious choices that leave you feeling content & satisfied.
