The holidays are officially upon us and you know what that means — delicious food and quality time spent with our loved ones.
If you’re wondering how to make your holiday meal a little healthier this year, the good news is there are plenty of ways to do that without restricting yourself from your favorite dishes. Below are a few ways you can be more mindful of your eating:
Don’t skip breakfast: Even though most holidays feature a filling meal, it’s not a good idea to skip your breakfast. This can lead you to be even hungrier come meal-time and also increase your chance of snacking on more appetizers. Instead, start your day on a good foot with a protein-rich breakfast like avocado egg toast.
Savor your sides: Eating slowly not only helps you become more mindful of the food and flavors you’re experiencing. It also helps your body realize when you’ve become full.
Be mindful of portions: Sometimes our eyes are bigger than our stomachs when we see the full holiday spread. However, rather than piling on large portions of a few sides, try smaller portions so you can experience more dishes.
Get active: Go for a walk with your family and soak up the fall weather before or after your holiday meal.
