The holiday season often brings challenges when it comes to maintaining healthy eating habits, but with some thoughtful planning, you can enjoy the festivities without overindulging. In this episode, we explore the importance of setting flexible guidelines for yourself—without being too strict—and how the anticipation of holiday food can sometimes be more satisfying than the meal itself. We discuss how typical Thanksgiving foods stack up in terms of macronutrients and how to plan meals around the big holiday spread. Being mindful of snacking and staying aware of portion sizes is crucial, and bringing your own healthier dish can be a smart strategy. We emphasize the importance of using portion control, knowing when to stop, and not feeling guilty about enjoying your food. Journaling and staying mindful throughout the season can help you stay on track, and we also dive into the significance of staying hydrated and being mindful of alcohol consumption during the holidays.
