Are you trying to be “healthy” this holiday season? Do you silently scold yourself for every holiday sweet you indulge in? Do you altogether avoid holiday gatherings in fear of pigging out at the sweets table? We all know how this game works: the more you tell yourself you CAN’T have something, the more you want it! How about instead of eliminating holiday sweets, we recruit healthy foods to help balance them? For example, stock up on more fruits and vegetables, and have them readily available to you for snacks on the go or as a side dish with a piece of cake. If you need more structure, only eat a treat once you’ve eaten two servings of fruit. Or, place a fruit bowl next to or in front of your tray of holiday favorites. There are a variety of healthy techniques we can establish to avoid eliminating holiday sweets from our diets: what’s yours?
