Holiday Eating

During the holidays, there is a need to eat lots and lots of goodies. You are invited to many cookouts and parties and wonder how can you lose weight at all these parties?

Well, it's simple than you think! The way to manage holiday eating is to stick to this formula: one protein, two veggies, one carbohydrate, lots of water, and a small desert.

Most cookouts have lots of chicken, fish, steak, hamburgers, turkey, etc. so take one serving from this protein selection. Add at least two servings from the vegetable selection and your plate is almost full! You will have room for a small serving of pasta (pasta salad, macaroni salad, etc.) which is enough carbs for the meal. This leaves room for a small desert.

Most cookouts will serve fruit platters or ice cream. Have a slice of watermelon, honeydew, or pineapple; these water filled fruits will fill you up so that you can have @ 1000 calories and still have some room to play! So lose weight and get some! Frank Dandy
