It’s that great time of year when we can all consume copious amounts of food and beverage and not feel any guilt...right?!
Here are a few painless tips to make your holiday a little healthier...
· Whole grains...pick whole wheat bread for your stuffing...put whole wheat rolls on the table...use brown rice in your recipes
· Low-fat dairy...with all of the other rich ingredients no one will notice if you use light butter, light sour cream and skim milk in your recipes.
· Broth not butter...use vegetable or chicken broth in your recipes and lighten up on the butter...the flavor is actually better.
· Get some exercise before and after the big feast...don’t make it rigorous, just enjoyable and then take a big ole’ nap!
· Be sure to eat breakfast everyday including the day of and the day after the gorge fest...it will regulate your metabolism and hopefully keep you from overdoing too much...
Above all else...enjoy yourself! It’s just one meal and you can undo the damage with your trainer next week! Have a great time...you know we will!
