Holiday Party Survival 101
Whether it's a family dinner or an office gathering, holiday parties can be challenging for people who are committed to healthy eating. These four simple strategies can help you stay on track:
1. Eat Before You Go. If you arrive at a party starving, everything will look and smell delicious, leaving you vulnerable to making unhealthy choices. But if you eat a healthy meal or snack beforehand, you'll be able to make better decisions about what you eat, including which items you truly want to splurge on.
2. Meet and Greet. Don't station yourself by the buffet table — mingle! Holiday parties are a great time to catch up with old friends or make new ones. Participating in a lively conversation will help distract you from tempting foods.
3. Enlist a Like-Minded Friend. If it's OK with your host, bring along a friend so you can encourage each other to stay true to your goals — and bypass those cheese puffs. You might recruit each other throughout the season to make sure you're staying on track.
4. Bring a Dish to Share. Chances are your host will appreciate it if you bring a delicious but local dish for everyone to enjoy.
Become more knowledgeable. Knowledge is power, after all. Make sure you understand the principles of this healthy eating lifestyle, so that you can make the right choices. For more help with this ask our own resident nutritional guru - Kamala aka Wreck Wench
